Udev rules. I created a wiki page: http://puredata.info/docs/tutorials/HowToReadHIDDevicesInLinuxWithoutBeingRoot

Please test the rules as I only have my rules files and no Linux in front of me to test at the moment.

I think the wiki page is underused. I must admit, my initial reaction to the question was to post the same info in brief in this email response. More and more, I realize just responding with answers on this list dosen't help as much as putting the same info on the wiki.

Not everyone knows to search the list for instance ...

Well, it is a wiki ... go ahead and add the info. I don't the rt kernel as, so far, it hasn't been needed. I guess my patches are simple enough and I don't use X11 with pd.
