It works on my Ubuntu 10.04 with the extended 0.42.5 nightly auto-build. Notice that for the specific case of [joystick ] you need to replace the [open joystick $1( inside with [open $1( since the extended 0.39.3...
I hope it'll help.

Does this work on recent distributions? I've tried different things involving /dev/input/, to no avail in Fedora 12. It did work in Ubuntu Studio 9.04.

To use [joystick ] which uses [hid ] without having to run Pd as root I
make a "sudo chmod -R 777 /dev/input/" after pluging the devices...
I'm not sure to answer the question but maybe it'll help someone else... :-)

Does anybody know how to have access to HIDs in Pd without having to run
as root? I've read that this was considered a security breach and that newer versions of Ubuntu, Fedora, etc. had this "fixed". Anyway, that's nice to have this howto on the wiki. You don't seem to have mentioned the rt-kernel anywhere, though. That'd be nice to have another paragraph about it, as i think one doesn't get the same performances with realtime permissions in a rt vs. non-rt kernel.

Howdy,
I added a howto page on the wiki adding realtime permissions for Ubuntu: http://puredata.info/docs/tutorials/HowToRunPDWithRealtimePriorityInUbuntu
Please check it for me and make any changes.
