Package: xserver-xorg-input-wacom
Version: 0.8.1.6-1
Severity: normal
I am unable to use my graphire tablet as a non-root user (with presure
sensativity). Normal use works, but gimp reports "permission denied".
Connecting the usb graphire results in this in /var/log/messages:
Jun 16 09:39:29 insitu kernel: [621587.736012] usb 3-2: new low speed USB

The device /dev/input/event8 gets created, with the following persmissions:
crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 72 2009-06-16 09:40 /dev/input/event8
Also a symlink to this file is created:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2009-06-16 09:40 /dev/input/tablet-graphire -> event8
But since the device file (created by udev?) is only rw for the root group the
tablet-graphire device is not accessible by non-root user.
If I manually change the group to "plugdev" then the tablet works as expected.
I tried reloading the udev rules, reinstalling (and dpkg-reconfigure) of
xserver-xorg-input-wacom without success.

Then you've almost certainly got some local configuration error,
but from the information here I can't really say what that might be.
Gimp shouldn't be trying to access this device directly, it should
be getting it from X, and X should be suid root because it needs to
do a whole bunch of things that only root can.

That all looks perfectly normal to me, there is no sign of a bug in
the wacom package itself here. And yes, the device and links are
created by udev.

If you really had some _special_ case where that was actually required
you can configure the owner and group in the udev rules for the tablet.
But I don't recommend that you do that here, it seems like you've got
some other configuration problem with X that you should sort out instead.

The linuxwacom list might be a good place to talk through your xorg
config to see what you've missed, if it's not immediately evident to
you when you review how they suggest configuring xorg for the tablet.
There are docs for that on the web site.
I don't see a bug that requires tweaking this package though, so I'm
closing it as a pending issue here.
Sorry,
Ron
