Hi all, I'm playing with using Xephyr for an emulator for the Sugar desktop (OLPC stuff), I am attempting to bind a specific mouse (event input) to Xephyr and made had some progress.
However the biggest problem is that I can only get Xephyr to attach an event source if it is run as root. ie: -- sudo Xephyr :5 -mouse evdev,,device=/dev/input/event8 -- Is there a method to allow this without being root, but instead as a normal user without root permissions? As expected the permissions of the event device are 'crw-rw---- 1 root root 13, 71 2008-11-12 21:24 /dev/input/event8' [It seems that a normal Xserver can achieve this when run directly from a VT, so why not for Xephyr?] Cheers, Mungewell.
