I had a similar problem when I first installed Hardy and had not had
a problem with Dapper.
I don't remember all the details but I believe the protections on
the files in /dev/input/* were created with protections without
read/write access required for a non-root user.
I made a new udev rules file:
/etc/udev/rules.d/50-emc_hal_input.rules
$ cat 50-emc*
SUBSYSTEM=="input", mode="0660", group="plugdev"
KERNEL=="event*", mode="0660", group="plugdev"
With this file you can use reboot or try:
$ udevadm trigger
My input dir looks like:
# ls -lR /dev/input
