Ahhhhh
	root$ input-kbd 8
	/dev/input/event8
	protocol version mismatch (expected 65536, got 65537)
and the same for all event devices??

I have input-kbd from xserver-xorg-input-kbd in Debian/sid, which is
at 1:1.4.0-2 version.

Does that mean that 2.6.37rc is too new for the user space?

Best wishes
