Basically, you can either change the perms of the devices, or add your user to the "root" group.
do i read correctly that you are proposing to add your user to the "root" group?
i would rather change the group of /dev/input/event* via /etc/udev/rules.d/ (and add myself to this group).
hi IOhannes, hi list
this sounds so easy, but it is not, at least for me. although this might be off-topic, i'd like to ask the list, how to do this step-by-step, since everyone, who uses [hid] on a linux-box, is confronted with that question. the ugly solution i am using for now, is to change the permissions manually each time i boot the computer and want to use a joystick.
thanks for any suggestions

In my opinion, this is the cleanest way to do it:
- First add your account to the 'audio' group:
edit /etc/group and find the line that starts with 'audio'. Add your account after the colons. For instance In my '/etc/group' have:
audio::17:cesarem
The group number could be different.
- Then edit /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules:
Find the line that starts with ' "KERNEL="event*", '. Change the permissions as "0660" and add the 'audio' group.
Here I have:
KERNEL="event*", NAME="input/%k", MODE="0660", GROUP="audio"
Ciao,
