Actually it was dumb. Look at this:

I couldn't even form a proper sentence. ;D

Hi Rich. Haha, I understood your meaning well enough ;D
Understanding context and intent is one of the many instances in which natural intelligence easily beats AI ;)

You shouldn't compare "natural intelligence" to "Artificial Ignorance". :o

If I run the game in TCL with sudo then the gamepad WORKS!! No need for libmtp or supplemental udev rules.
But of course this is not a solution: It just suggests what the underlying problem might be.
I checked in Devuan and I am not part of an "input" group:
--- Code: ---Devuan$ id
uid=1000(bruno) gid=1000(bruno) groups=1000(bruno),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),102(netdev),108(bluetooth)
--- End code ---
I tried this in TCL...
--- Code: ---TCL$ sudo chown bruno:staff /dev/input
TCL$ sudo chown bruno:staff /dev/input/js0
--- End code ---
...but found that running the game with sudo is still needed for gamepad to work.
Any suggestions what needs to be done in order for the gamepad to be usable in TCL without running the game with sudo?
EDIT: In TCL I also tried loading polkit, starting dbus, then starting polkitd. Alas, no change--sudo still required for the game to respond to gamepad input.

Sorry have to ask a very stupid question.
Have you tried to add you user to input group ?

Hi patrikg. I'm not part of the input group in Devuan. Creating that group in TCL, adding myself to it, and changing ownership of /dev/input/js0 to root:input would be a big hassle with very low chance of success. But I'll give it a shot.
