On what group will the udev rules add your device ?

udev creates /dev/input/js0 with root:root ownership in TCL, root:input ownership in Devuan

patrikg:
On modern Linux systems, /dev/input/js0 (joystick devices) should normally belong to the input group.
So that's correct so my advice to you is:

1. Add input group in TC.
2. Change the udev rules to input group.
3. Add user bruno to input group.

Happy hacking :)

Juanito:
Wouldn’t it be better to change it to the staff group?

Hi patrikg. I followed your advice. I appended this line to /etc/group:

--- Code: ---input:x:103:root,bruno
--- End code ---
and in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules I changed this line:

--- Code: ---KERNEL=="js[0-9]*",             MODE="0644"

--- End code ---
to this:

--- Code: ---KERNEL=="js[0-9]*",             MODE="0664",    GROUP="input"

--- End code ---
Then I logged out, logged back in, plugged in the gamepad. Everything is as expected:

--- Code: ---$ id
uid=1000(bruno) gid=50(staff) groups=10(wheel),50(staff),103(input),1000(bruno)
$ ls -l /dev/input/js0
crw-rw-r--    1 root     input      13,   0 Dec 30 11:27 /dev/input/js0

--- End code ---
Despite all the above, game still does not respond to gamepad input unless I run the game with sudo.

Hi Juanito. I'll give that a try.

EDIT: No luck with your idea, Juanito :(
