do i read correctly that you are proposing to add your user to the
"root" group?
Yes, the root group doesn't really give you much additional access.
Mostly its read permissions on some logs and r/w on the input
devices, /dev/etc, and /dev/apm_bios, AFAIK.
i would rather change the group of /dev/input/event* via /etc/udev/
rules.d/
(and add myself to this group).
If you have udev running, that does sound like a better option.
or run pd as root.
That is far, far worse than the root group. That gives you complete
r/w access to everything. Quite a bit different than the root
group. I definitely do not recommend that at all.
or run w98
You must be joking =D
