In Ubuntu 7.04, I added the following line to /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules:<br><br>KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", MODE="0666"<br><br>I think things may have changed though.. might belong in a different file now.

<br>Anyone just know where this line should go? It lets all users use the /dev/input/event*'s.<br><br>- rich<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, May 21, 2009 at 12:52 PM, Olm-e <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ol@ogeem.be">ol@ogeem.be</a>></span> wrote:<br>

just to let you know, I got my little wacom volito to work with [hid]<br>
with /dev/inputX on ubuntu 8.04, as long as I change the owner of that<br>
to current user... ( sudo chown user /dev/inputX ) - I get XY and<br>
pressure info ...<br>
same as with all hid input actualy since ubuntu 7.10 (had a hard time<br>
before figuring that permission thing)<br>
but don't know how to change that on the fly ... could be cool to find<br>
as that /input/eventX change each time (reboot/change in usb/...)<br>
