As far as I can tell sgfxi isn't part of the Debian distribution, because 'apt-file search sgfxi' comes up empty. There are several ways to install the proprietary Nvidia drivers; the way in which I was doing it when I was last running them was by installing the nvidia-kernel-source and nvidia-kernel-dkms packages [which are in the 'non-free' tree]. DKMS [Dell Kernel Module System] then builds the nvidia module against the kernel, which requires the associated linux-headers package for the compile to succeed. This automatically re-built the nvidia module on kernel updates too, IIRC. > I did a fresh install of jessie and installed mumble before doing anything > else and it was detecting all my input devices fine. > I figured I must have messed up my previous upgrade from wheezy to jessie, > but after installing the Nvidia drivers, this bug came back. > Hopefully this info helps. Last I recall installing the nvidia drivers installed some files in /etc/modprobe.d/ which loaded the nvidia module and blacklisted the nouveau module, and there might also be some rules installed in /etc/udev/rules.d/ -- if so there's a chance that this might explain the /etc/input/event* permissions differences. This is concerning what the nvidia-kernel-dkms package does -- I never used sgfxi so it might behave differently. BTW I on my own system all of the /dev/input/event* devices are owned by root:root and have permissions 0600, I'm not able to access those devices myself, and yet mumble is still able to set Shortcut keys when I run it as a normal user. ?? -- Chris -- Chris Knadle chris.kna...@coredump.us -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
