Persistent evdev

services.persistent-evdev.devices

A set of virtual proxy device labels with backing physical device ids.

Physical devices should already exist in {file}/dev/input/by-id/. Proxy devices will be automatically given a uinput- prefix.

See the project page for example configuration of virtual devices with libvirt and remember to add uinput-* devices to the qemu cgroup_device_acl list (see ).
