[PULL] udev input-hotplug backend

[Stephan Raue]

Hi all,

i have a question how i can configure xorg-server/udev with the new 
changes for udev support. i have an successfully runnig 
xorg-server-1.7.99.2 with julien's patches with the needed 
config/x11-input.rules for udev support. now this rules file is not mor 
needed (and dont work anymore). with the latest svn version of 
xorg-server my mouse and keyboard doesnt work. i see in Xorg.log the 
follow lines:

  [1 sec: 077073 usec](II) config/udev: Adding input device "Logitech 
USB Receiver" (/dev/input/event6)
[1 sec: 077086 usec](EE) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)
[1 sec: 077233 usec](II) config/udev: Adding input device "Logitech USB 
Receiver" (/dev/input/mouse1)
[1 sec: 077245 usec](EE) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)
[1 sec: 077476 usec](II) config/udev: Adding input device "Logitech USB 
Receiver" (/dev/input/event7)
[1 sec: 077488 usec](EE) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)
[1 sec: 077675 usec](II) config/udev: Adding input device "AT Translated 
Set 2 keyboard" (/dev/input/event4)
[1 sec: 077688 usec](EE) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)
[1 sec: 077894 usec](II) config/udev: Adding input device "TPPS/2 IBM 
TrackPoint" (/dev/input/event5)
[1 sec: 077910 usec](EE) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)
[1 sec: 078049 usec](II) config/udev: Adding input device "TPPS/2 IBM 
TrackPoint" (/dev/input/mouse0)
[1 sec: 078062 usec](EE) No input driver/identifier specified (ignoring)

how i can configure my system so mouse/ touchpad/ keyboard /(wacom 
touchscreen) work with udev? (if possible without any changes to 
xorg.conf or xorg.conf.d)?

another little issue i have found in the implementation of xorg.conf.d:

if i have configfiles without an empty last line there are errors 
because the first line of the second configfile will be parsed with the 
last line of the first config file.

File 1:
Section...
EndSection

File 2:
Section...
EndSection

will be parsed to:
Section...
EndSectionSection...
EbdSection

greetings

Stephan
