I included the extra class specification xorg-server-18 needs for
recognizing mouse and keyboard. Useflags, kernelversion und udev
match also.
But I get an error in the Xorg-logfile:

[  2805.694] (II) Initializing extension GLX
[  2806.923] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Logitech N48 (/dev/input/mouse0)

"Inappropiate ioctl" looks like some version mismatch between kernel
interface and ... what?

udev is recompiled after installation of xorg-server and the kernel
was not changed after that installation...

I simply dont know whats failing there...
