My devfsd.conf file is unmodified from "devfsd-v1.3.11" and looks like you
suggest. And devfsd is loaded:
[maba@asus03 maba]$ ps -ef | grep devfs
root 24 1 0 20:48 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/devfsd /dev
maba 822 813 0 20:50 pts/0 00:00:00 grep devfs
In my /dev there are a lot of compatibility entries. There must be a
problem with autoloading the ide-cd driver. If I maually load the cd driver
by "modprobe ide-cd" I can mount the cd. The mouse problem is only minor,
as the mouse works in X. I nearly never need gpm. Once I have found the
config-file for gpm I will change it to use /dev/psaux as the devfs FAQ
suggests ;-).
