Public bug reported:
Hi,
I'm trying to use my saitek Cyborg evolution joystick with wine. My system
(kubuntu 8.10 amd64) see the device correctly (6 axes and 12 buttons), but wine
doesn't because it gives the following error:
warn:dinput:find_joydevs Failed to open "/dev/input/event0": 13 Permesso
negato
The problem I related to the fact that the /dev/input/event* files are
owned by root:root and the normal user has no access to them:
/dev/input$ ls -all
totale 0
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 400 2009-03-15 23:28 .

I think it is necesary to give rights to the user or to cahnge the group from
root to plugdev.
Do you agree?
