     If system have lots of input devices, some needs post install scri=
pts.
Sometimes automaticaly device file assign distrub system, because sytem=

have unchangeable config files (XF86Config).
     Some joystiks needs for attaching scripts. So kernel detect input
device, perform initializig, then set up environment and run hotplug.
environment variables:

ACTION=3D
PRODUCT=3D
NAME=3D
PHYS=3D

Now input.agent script parse this variables and perform user works.
If device pluged in ACTION=3Dadd, if removed ACTION=3Dremove
Rather Vojtech Pavlik might explain this beter.
