Its kinda becoming a hassle switching to root in pd and then having to chmod every patch that I make.. Can anyone tell me how I can make things where I can use /dev/input/* without being root? "chmod a+rw /dev/input/event2" works, but it goes away after startup. Maybe I should put this in a startup script, or is there a better way? <BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>My guess is that the permissions are like -rw-rw----.
