Then it wouldn't work for synaptics, evdev, wacom either. They all use this mechanism. I'm afraid I'm no longer of help at that point.

Should that not be before evdev? I tried to run Xorg -configure, but that threw a SIGSEGV. Which is strange because just Xorg starts X. (It did write /root/xorg.conf.new however.) With or without 05-egalaxy.conf being present, this xorg.conf.new is missing the section Section "InputDevice" .. EndSection Could that hint towards Xorg not actually finding the device in the first place?
udevd -V udevd 157.
udevadm test (attachment)
udevadm info -e | grep ID_INPUT (KEYBOARD, MOUSE, KEY, TOUCHPAD, ...)
Outputs ID_INPUT_TABLET. Perhaps that's the issue, that it was assumed to be pointer/touchscreen in Xorg rather than a tablet in Xorg?
Does re-plugging the input devices makes them appear?
Hm? The device already appears in /dev/input/by-id/ (it's an usbhid device), so that seems ok. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

We don't have any egaly inputclass section entry in our 11-mouse.conf file. Could it be that your egalax driver package/installation added this entry to this file? (In reply to comment #18)
Hm, removing this line
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
made the xorg.conf.d variant work...
Weird. I thought I would have seen in your attached Xorg.0.log file that the egalax device has been appeared as /dev/input/event5. Maybe no longer. At least for synaptics this line doesn't hurt. Before we add such an entry for egalax driver, I would like to know, where you've found this driver (reference to the tarball or whatever).

Dang, I thought "zypper in -f xorg-x11-driver-input" would reset the file, but it seems it did not. You are correct, the egalax setup.sh must have added it.
Weird. I thought I would have seen in your attached Xorg.0.log file that the egalax device has been appeared as /dev/input/event5.
Yes, indeed it appears as /dev/input/event<number> (depends on when it's plugged in of course). I don't immediately see why having a MatchDevicePath would make it stop working.

11-mouse.conf is tagged as %config (in the specfile), so it depends if it is overwritten or not. --> http://www-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk/~jw35/docs/rpm_config.html

Right.

Yes, with such an EULA we simply cannot ship that driver. Can't you contact them about that issue, so they can fix that issue for a future release. It seems driver development isn't dead yet (latest driver release: 2010/09/07). All in all this bugreport has become INVALID.
