9.04 T61 trackpoint config with udev rules

[lnthai2002]

Hi,
I recently upgraded to 9.04 and i got problem with the trackpoint sensitive and speed. I added a file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-trackpoint.rules with the configs and test with test udevadm it works, but after reboot, my trackpoint come back slow again. Do I have todo anything to force udev to use the new rule?

Hope to get some help
Thai

Could you post your config, I cant get it to work.
Mine looks like this:
SUBSYSTEMS=="serio", DRIVERS=="psmouse", ATTRS{sensitivity}="122", ATTRS{speed}="94"
but it seems its not matched or something

[lnthai2002]

Here you are
/etc/udev/rules.d/11-trackpoint.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="serio", DRIVERS=="psmouse", ATTR{press_to_select}="1", ATTR{speed}="175", ATTR{sensitivity}="190"

If i run:

sudo udevadm test /devices/platform/i8042/serio1

I see this:

run_command: calling: test
udevadm_test: version 141

And the trackpoint is more responsive. However, the rules doesnt seem to load at boot.

[tarmack]

Well, I now have the same problem as you, the rules file is working with udevadm test but won't set the ATTR's at boot. I've tried to put it before all other rules and also at the end. I also tried putting it in /etc/udev and in /lib/udev but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Also I added ACTION=="add|change" to the rules file but it didn't help.
If there is someone with more knowledge of udev and the way it applies the rules some help would be more than welcome.

For now I added the udevadm line to rc.local and that works but it is certainly not the way it should be.

[lnthai2002]

I just took the rules out and echo the attribute to the device file, thats' how it work with 8.04 but 9.04 should take advantage of udev rules to ease the setting. here is what i have in /etc/rc.local

echo -n 175 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/speed
echo -n 190 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/sensitivity

udevadm test should to the trick but since it;s for testing purpose only, i dont know what could harm.

This appears to be an upstream bug in debian kernel.
