But you shouldn't run into the situation when you run out of the free evdev devices.
I was under the impression that increasing event device handlers implied that it would run out of them eventually.
Are you saying that event handlers are normally ever increasing and that they are being reused when the upper limit has been reached?
In that case I'd probably best test this with a decreased EVDEV_MINORS value.
How is hald triggering the out-of-devices condition then? Do you mean that if the condition occurs, restarting hald would free up the "removed" event devices?
