They are listed as 660, root:input here too. HOWEVER ... I don't possess Logitech G703 to test it. There is an additional complexity since the OP's mouse is wireless @2.5GHz. I don't know if the wireless dongle Logitech ships with this mouse requires any special firmware, to allow it to function correctly as a USB device. :-/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I wouldn't think so, but since I'm in both groups I can't test it. But the permissions are 660 for root:input. crw-rw 1 root input 13, 77 Sep 2 14:33 event13 etc. -- Neil Bothwick If a turtle doesn't have a shell, is he homeless or naked? pgpiuMQTRch3w.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Wouldn't being a member of plugdev, rather than input group, deal with this? signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

You can, 1. run X as root 2. either do mknod -m 600 /dev/input/event23 c 13 87 chown $USER /dev/input/event23 or mknod -m 666 /dev/input/event23 c 13 87 3. fiddle with udev so it does what it should, don't know how Regards, /Karl Hammar
