问题
I have two LCD's using Xorg's xinerama feature. Each LCD screen has a touchscreen which are connected to their respective USB lines.
Looking into the '/var/log/messages' file, I see the following:
kernel: input: Analog Resistive as /class/input/input0
kernel: input: USB HID v1.01 Mouse [Analog Resistive] on usb-0000:00:1d.3-1
kernel: input: Analog Resistive as /class/input/input1
kernel: input: USB HID v1.01 Mouse [Analog Resistive] on usb-0000:00:1d.3-2
For some reason, at some point in time the USB bus seems to reset (or something weird) and my two touchscreens get inverted (press the left LCD and the mouse moves on the right and if I press the right LCD the mouse moves on the left).
To try and debug the problem, I tried to write a udev rule to log when my devices get reset/disconnected (or whatever). But it seems as though udev will report full details (product, manufacturer, idProduct, idVendor, etc) on the device when it connects, but gives you nothing but a few bus numbers when it is removed. Why is this?
When I get an ACTION=="remove", KERNEL=="input*" rule, there is no way for me to know which device it is! Does anyone know a way around this?

i'd suggest first thing check udev events on device "remove" event by running e.g. udevadm monitor --kernel --property --subsystem-match=usb and disconnecting your devices in turn and comparing outputs.
Here on a single mouse disconnect i get two events:
KERNEL[6680.737678] remove /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.2/2-1.2:1.0 (usb)
ACTION=remove
DEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.2/2-1.2:1.0

You can write your rule invoking a script which should do some job after examining some specific environment variable. A rule may be as simple as
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="remove", RUN+="/usr/local/sbin/usbdevgone.sh"
In your case i'd suggest checking $DEVPATH inside usbdevgone.sh as they should differ for your two otherwise identical devices.
Also you may pass devpath (this is a path in /sys/ filesystem) as an argument to your script like this (see man udev for a list of available substitutions):
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ACTION=="remove", RUN+="/usr/local/sbin/usbdevgone.sh $devpath"
Do not forget to notify udevd of your new or changed rule with udevadm control --reload-rules

I have run into the same problem in Linux. The information sent on a remove is minimal and cannot be used to uniquely identify the device being removed. I used to use the PHYDEVPATH (which is unique on plug in and unplug for a given machine and USB port), but very unfortunately, that has been deprecated in later versions of udev.
回答3:
I was writing an application with similars features and I solved the problem implementing a daemon with the only mission of storing the udev_device connected. So when I detect some remove even from the udev_monitor I check for some device missing on the deamon's devices list. That what is missing is the device disconnected. That way I can obtain the data of disconnected devices.
