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

/dev/input/event$ is probably not the right device name. It should
be something like /dev/input/event1. Try posting a "ls -l /dev/input/
event*". Also, linuxmouse and linuxevent are no longer maintained,
but they should work fine, I support. [hid] is a more current object
for GNU/Linux and Mac OS X, which is soon to be replaced by a even
better object for GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.

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?

doing it in a startup script is NOT the recommended way (though it is a very simple approach)
read the documentation about udev or devfs or whatever you are using to create your devices files.

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.
