Hi Zenja,

I thought this problem was fixed already... guess not. Sounds like a race 
condition between the input_server device traversing the available 
keyboards and setting up node monitoring for these folders. Ie, the device 
is added by the driver after the input device searched for it, but before 
the node monitoring is effective. I have not looked at the code if this is 
really a possible cause. IIRC, the console mode uses the same driver, so it 
is probably not the drivers fault, as you also suggest. Maybe you can edit 
your boot script, so that input_server start is delayed. If this fixes the 
problem, and no other interference prevents this trick from working, then 
my assumption is likely correct.

Best regards,
-Stephan
