the problem was that I needed root permission to access it.I'm having the root permission problem. 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?
My guess is that the permissions are like -rw-rw----. Just add your
user to the group that has permissions on the input devices, log out
and back in, and you'll have access.
