setting /dev/input/ permissions [solved]

I'm trying to get a joystick/gampad device set up correctly here on /dev/input/js0 but have a permission problem. The gamepad works perfectly, except I have to chmod 664 /dev/input/js0 to use it as a regular user on every new boot.

So, I am wondering how to go about setting the permissions for input devices permanently... and for this particular issue I need to be able to automatically set the permissions for /dev/input/js0

Thanks

Try shaping udev rules.

Take a look here. :wink:

The udev rule did indeed work... just had to add a MODE="0666" to a rule for my gamepad. Very simple...

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
