(BUGREPORT)XF-4.3 + event support patches

[Svetoslav S. <ga...@st...>]

Hi ,
this is sort of official bug report.

Sort of because :

1.)
because i do not use official kernel
- i use backstreet ruby
2.)
you clearly mention that under 2.4 PHYS can not be in the input device section 
in the XFConfig.
- i'm running 2.4 but backstreet ruby which has PHYS for input devices

why i'm writing this mail although i'm fully aware of the previous 2 facts:
-because bruby uses the input system from 2.5.67



so the problem seems to be in the input.agent because XFree finds the devices on
start-up, but the input.agent doesn't seem to do anything when i replug my USB
mouse. I have to restart X in order to get the mouse back. I assume the same
problem exist with keyboards as well.

i think the reason is in "export VAL_SEP='\003'"
i got to this idea trough extending your input.agent with 2 lines:
echo $dev >> /etc/hotplug/input.agent.DEBUG
/bin/sh -c 'echo -e
"2.1${ARG_SEP}NAME${VAL_SEP}${NAME}${ARG_SEP}PHYS${VAL_SEP}${PHYS}${ARG_SEP}ACTION${VAL_SEP}${ACTION}"
>> /etc/hotplug/input.agent.DEBUG2' &

please find attached the resulting input.agent, input.agent.DEBUG,
input.agent.DEBUG2 

if you need more information, just drop a line :)

best,

svetljo
