I can give 2 examples (devices which I have): - saitek gamepad with force feedback -- sudo needed to use force feedback - wireless logitech mouse -- sudo needed to ask mouse for battery status (using revoco utility)
In both cases sudo needed, because /dev/input/eventX devices have 0664 permissions and root:root ownership (which I consider wrong). -- wrong /dev/input/eventX permissions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344673 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
