Apparently some users don't have /dev/input/event0. Also the names of the files in /dev/input could be changed by udev, so perhaps the utility should not assume a particular naming, or even that the files must be in /dev/input. I'm not sure what the best solution is. Perhaps lsinput should only operate on files given on the command line, just like 'ls': lsinput /dev/input/event* lsinput /dev/mouse /dev/dog Please keep the CC to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in any replies.
