Hi, I've tried to do as you suggested, but after having rebooted the pc, nothing has changed. This is the list of the device files: andreak@pro5av:/dev/input$ ls -all totale 0 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 400 2009-03-17 23:08 . drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 14740 2009-03-17 23:08 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 120 2009-03-17 23:08 by-id drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 220 2009-03-17 23:08 by-path crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 64 2009-03-17 23:06 event0 crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 65 2009-03-17 23:06 event1 crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 74 2009-03-17 23:08 event10 crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 66 2009-03-17 23:06 event2 crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 67 2009-03-17 23:06 event3 crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 68 2009-03-17 23:06 event4 crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 69 2009-03-17 23:06 event5 crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 70 2009-03-17 23:06 event6 crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 71 2009-03-17 23:06 event7 crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 72 2009-03-17 23:06 event8 crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 73 2009-03-17 23:06 event9 crw-rw---- 1 root plugdev 13, 0 2009-03-17 23:08 js0 crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 63 2009-03-18 00:05 mice crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 32 2009-03-18 00:05 mouse0 crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 33 2009-03-17 23:06 mouse1 crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 34 2009-03-17 23:06 mouse2 and this is the lst of udev rules: andreak@pro5av:/etc/udev/rules.d$ ls -all totale 204 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-03-17 23:02 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2009-02-28 10:01 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1547 2008-10-13 15:18 024_hpmud.rules lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2009-02-28 10:01 025_libchipcard.rules -> ../libchipcard.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 400 2008-10-24 12:39 05-options.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 208 2009-03-01 22:28 10-vboxdrv.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3215 2008-10-24 12:39 20-names.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 141 2008-10-24 12:39 30-cdrom_id.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 814 2008-10-24 12:39 40-basic-permissions.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3109 2008-10-24 12:39 40-permissions.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 30 2008-09-25 18:06 45-fuse.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 115 2008-10-13 15:18 45-hplip.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 39784 2008-08-01 17:53 45-libmtp8.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1704 2008-06-19 11:52 45-libnjb.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 61 2008-10-26 20:42 50-virtualbox-ose.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6661 2008-10-22 05:34 50-xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 115 2008-10-13 15:18 55-hpmud.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1431 2008-10-24 12:39 60-persistent-input.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3851 2008-11-03 19:12 60-persistent-storage.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1322 2008-10-24 12:39 60-persistent-storage-tape.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 862 2008-10-24 12:39 60-symlinks.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 518 2008-10-24 12:39 61-persistent-storage-edd.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 485 2008-10-27 01:29 62-bluez-hid2hci.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1262 2008-10-20 23:24 65-dmsetup.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 196 2008-10-24 12:39 65-id-type.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 761 2009-02-28 01:49 70-persistent-cd.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 558 2009-02-28 03:28 70-persistent-net.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 390 2008-10-24 12:39 75-cd-aliases-generator.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2403 2008-10-24 12:39 75-persistent-net-generator.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 563 2008-10-24 12:39 80-programs.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 171 2008-09-25 08:13 85-alsa.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1444 2008-08-06 11:10 85-brltty.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 84 2008-06-19 10:47 85-hdparm.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1855 2008-09-09 10:52 85-hplj10xx.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 126 2008-09-25 15:07 85-hwclock.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 954 2008-10-13 00:19 85-ifupdown.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 950 2007-10-23 19:02 85-pcmcia.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 82 2008-10-26 09:58 90-hal.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2862 2008-10-24 12:39 90-modprobe.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 137 2009-03-17 23:02 94-my-custom.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 234 2008-10-24 12:39 95-udev-late.rules -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1224 2008-10-24 12:39 README As you can see I've created the rule so that to be the last to be executed, but it seems it does nothing.
