Hi,
some HID devices creates several HID devices, some which are not seen as
mouse or keyboard, but can still send events (for instance, Microsoft
Natural Keyboard 4000 zoom "controls"). Unfortunately, by-id symlinks
are not created for those devices.
This patch (in Mandriva package for some time now) fixes this issue.
Enjoy.
