Hi, I'm having a problem with the PureData objects linuxmouse and linuxevents on Agnula 1.3.0 while opening /dev/input/event$; it fails. I use to have this problem in pd 0.38 in agnula 1.2.1, but 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.

But now it even fail while logged on as root. Any one know something I could do?
 
Thanks, Diego.
