About udev in Foresight. Udev creates and removes device nodes in /dev, based on events the kernel sends out on device discovery or removal.

Status

  • Still many Scanners dont work. But there is a new package "sane-backends" you can test in 1-devel
  • The user for scanners and other puggable devices is "plugdev". The default user gets added to that group.
  • The "udev" package is based on the RPM of Fedora Core 7.
  • devfs has been obsoleted by udev.
  • DEV:Log of successfully working CX3650 multi function (printer+scanner)

Layout

  • There is a directory /etc/udev
    • and below /etc/udev/rules.d with some rules for devices
  • There is a udevd Daemon which controls the udev events.

What about hotplug?

  • Open Question: Do we need any hotplug stuff as present in /etc/hotplug by gphoto-suite and iscan?
