Wow, Gentoo is really uptight with the perms!  I have the same as below:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ > ls -l /dev/input/event?
crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 64 Sep 26 13:11 /dev/input/event0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 65 Sep 26 13:11 /dev/input/event1

Basically, you can either change the perms of the devices, or add your user to the "root" group.

Hi tim, list,

Debian is :

crw-rw---- 1 root root 13,  64 2006-12-04 20:02 event0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 13,  65 2006-12-04 20:02 event1
crw-rw---- 1 root root 13,  66 2006-12-04 20:02 event2

I remember when I used [hid] a lot I had to :

# chmod a+r /dev/event*

before being able to read anything from it.

hi hans,
i'm just curious ... on gentoo the permissions for the /dev/input/ eventX
devices are set to 600, so they are not available for the ordinary
user ... is this a specific bug/feature of gentoo? did you experience anything
like this on other distributions?
