It works out of the box, and I don't worry. :-)

Still, some time, I'd like to find out what is going on and how to fix
the udev installation on my system.

It's Slackware 10.2 whose default kernel is a 2.4 kernel.  Nonetheless,
one may use certain 2.6 kernels and one is even included with Slackware
10.2, in an optional package.  However, Slackware's udev *may* not
actually be to blame.  Some time ago, I installed Dropline Gnome, a set
of additional packages, that - as I just found out - also include a udev
package which replaces the original Slackware one.  Also, I don't use
the Slackware 2.6 kernel package.  Instead a slightly newer kernel that
I compiled myself.

Perhaps, I'll remove Dropline Gnome again, but not at the moment.
