That would work, I guess. However, it sounds like your suggesting that we add some custom rules in OLPC's own builds and leave it at that. I'm not sure what user/group we could use for a generic rule matching this hardware. The disadvantage here is that it doesn't work as a global solution to the problem - every embedded distro in the same situation would have to add a custom rule thing, and "generic distros" would have no such solution at this time. Maybe not such a big deal while OLPC is the only user. But I did come across another request for SW_TABLET_MODE access: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43935 Or would a udev rule making the OLPC switch device (and potentially similar devices on other platforms in future) world-readable on all distros be accepted?
