Well, in fairness it was broken upstream and the Fedora maintainer (Harald) didn't notice that it was broken until now (when I filed bug 183288 after emailing the list and getting no "me too" responses), and it's a little difficult to get backwards compatibility working without the option. I'd like backwards compatibility too, but I'll admit that on my own system my initial hack to get it working was exactly the same one (without the hyphen) as Harald's. Others know more about udev than I, though. > Reasonable indeed. Of course the udev people would say you should use > hal to get the list of devices. Right. Which is why the problem was at least masked on hal-using programs, and thus why Harald and others didn't notice the problem before now. John
