It used to be that you edited or created a new rule in /etc/udev/rules.d. The lower the number the earlier in the process the rule got looked at. However, it appears to me that things have changed. I no longer see explicit USB rules in that directory and the hal.rules file has this: # pass all events to the HAL daemon RUN+="socket:/org/freedesktop/hal/udev_event" I set this device up a couple years ago and now I don't remember how. Or things have changed. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
