Event device permissions in 2nd X-Server

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hi all, X-Plane 10 (a commercial flight sim) uses the input event device nodes for accessing joysticks. That works fine when starting X-Plane in the default X-Server but doesn't when running it in a 2nd X-Server! When the joystick gets plugged-in, then it will show up as i.e. /dev/input/event10 with the following permissions: Code: crw-rw----+ 1 root root 13, 74 Dec  2 22:40 event10 One interessting part, here, is that although I'm not in the group "root", it's possible to accesses event10, i.e. with the following command line (when moving the sticks, then you wil (HowTos)

Lets try a little experiment.First, figure out which event number belongs to the touch pad.ewaller@odin:~ 1024 %grep '' /sys/class/input/event*/device/name /sys/class/input/event0/device/name:Power Button /sys/class/input/event1/device/name:Lid Switch /sys/class/input/event10/device/name:HP WMI hotkeys /sys/class/input/event11/device/name:AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint /sys/class/input/event12

Hi Folks,

Kubuntu 64 bit 9.10.

Plugged the tablet in and the mouse responded but nothing to the buttons. Gimp had a Wacom tablet listed but wouldn't listen to anything on it.

My issue: Bluetooth mouse, that connects when X-server started. So, server reads info about all-input from /dev/input/mice and can not use /dev/input/event*(because when server starts - this device... [by madRat]

Okay, I have two joysticks attached to my linux box and they show up as /dev/js0 and /dev/js1. My problem is, I have a third party application, (that I cannot change), that uses a joystick, and it can only listen to one node, (so only one joystick at a time).

I can determine which node the application will "listen" to, (e.g. /dev/js0), but I can only specify one node.

I want to access the keyboard device driver,I usually accesses it by looking at /dev/input/by-name but the event provided by it gets changed every time logs in,and after searchin on net I found that this problem can be removed if i use /by-id but I am unable to find any device there in that folder. Thanks.

Hello!

I, along with a few others on these forums, have an Acer 5920 laptop, which is equipped with both a Synaptics Touchpad, and a set of touch-sensitive media keys, which are, in fact, a second synaptics touchpad.

Previously, we had been able to use gsynaptics to configure the touchpad behaviour by this:

gammu and device permissions 28 weeks 6 days ago

I have Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS and on it I have installed gammu. I use it to control my "Nokia 5310 Xpress music" cell phone.

Now my Nokia device is listed as ttyACM0 in my /dev/ directory... its permissions are rw for root and dialout...
