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?

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