Problems w/ peripherals in Core3
Hello,
hoping someone here can tell me how to get things working right here. I've got an upto date Core3 install. Everything worked fine in Core2, but now any app that makes use of a peripheral device (printer, joypads, scanners, etc.....) can't seem to find them unless I reconfigure/reinstall/reboot the peripheral in question. If I need to reboot the system for any reason, then everything is screwed up again. I'm fairly sure this has something to do with udev, but I could be wrong. :-) (wouldn't be the 1st time, won't be the last) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It WAS enabled.  just disabled it. so I guess I'll have to reboot now and see if that makes a difference.

well, with selinux disabled, (btw I found out how to do it from one of your other posts in the forum.  )
I still have to turn my printer off and back on to print (not a big deal, but annoying none the less)
and tuxracer (commercial version) still can't see my joypads. (VERY annoying)
any other ideas?
Update: With SELinux disabled, I can now use checkinstall (at least on some things. yipee!), but none of my peripherals are being detected by the programs that use them. I'm now certain it has to do with udev, but I can't seem to find anything, anywhere on how to fix/work around it. Only fix I've found so far was for alsa.(kept getting muted on boot. fixed with this command, # MAKEDEV -d /etc/udev/devices/ sound
tried doing that for the other stuff, but it didn't seem to work.
