Your rules set is rather different from mine, but unless there's another overriding rule in 95-udev-late.rules that shouldn't matter. Please do the following as root and post the results: cd /etc/udev/rules.d grep event * > Is there something wrong? > Setting MODE to 0666 may be better than 0644 - I was assuming that the event devices were read-only but they may be read-write since root has read/write access. As a faster temporary workround, after boot you could experiment with changing the access permissions directly as root: chmod uga+rw /dev/input/event* ls -l /dev/input/event* which should show that the permissions group is now "crw-rw-rw-" If this takes, the joystick should now work OK. I use exactly this technique to give all users access to serial ports, so I'm slightly mystified why it didn't work for you. Martin
