The change in the path in udevinfo is correct with that kernel, but it
seems, that you miss some devices.

What does:
find /sys/class/input
print?

What does:
ls -l /dev/input
print?

Are the same modules loaded after bootup?

If the devices show up in /sys/class/input, but not in /dev/input,
does running:
/sbin/udevstart
create them?

Thanks,
Kay
