[SOLVED] Udev rules for "Mitsumi Electric Apple Extended USB Keyboard"

page_seven · 09-27-2010, 04:54 PM

I am writing a udev rule for my apple keyboard. I cannot get a working symlink because it shows up as two /dev/input/eventX device nodes, one which shows activity when I 'cat' it, the other which does not. The symlink usually points to the "dead" one. Anyone have experience with these keyboards?

Vendor: 05ac
Product: 020b

this grepped output, which is the result of 'udevadm info --export-db | grep -B 11 -A 10 020b', shows my problem. The only thing unique to the keyboard that I can see is ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD. I tried using ENV{ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD}=="1", but seem to have trouble matching the ID_* properties.

edit: had to use IMPORT{program}="input_id %p" to get ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD.
