Devfs dosen't set the joystick to any group nor change the permission so the joystick is only accessible as root or group root, which is not a good idea at all... My guess is: it should be root.games or at least root.joystick or 666... Actual joystick: using the interact.o module from 2.4.21 (Hammerhead FX) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get a joystick 2. configure it 3. "ls -al" the device or try to use the joystick as a user Actual Results: joystick is only accessible as root Expected Results: the joystick should be able to be accessed under some group other than root kernel 2.4.21 with ck3 patch Hammerhead FX USB joystick Board: Asus A7N8X deluxe Gentoo updated 2 days ago (jully 21 2003)
if you provide a rule for us to add to devfsd.conf i'll be happy to put into cvs ;)
