The following message is displayed on boot.  The system works fine 
despite the message, but I'd still like to know what the cause is and 
fix it.

udevd-event[3796]: node symlink: rename(/dev/fb.udev-tmp, /dev/fb) 
failed: Is a directory

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dave

Check your udev rules. I think he tries to make a symlink to /dev/fb
but it's a directory so he can't.

I looked in /etc/udev/rules.d but I not sure how all that's used.  What 
are the rules suppose to be?

Here you can find everything about udev rules:
http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html

You should look for a rule that with SYMLINK=/dev/fb or something alike in it.
