After that its looking to see if there are are any more in the range event10 to event64. I can't tell if it needs all of these or if its just scanning to see whether there are any more: I don't know either that stick or the game so I can't tell what else it needs. As Vitamin says, you need to talk to your stick maker and/or the Grand Prix Legends authors to find out what else it needs. Meanwhile, if you want to make those modified event read-write permissions permanent, try changing the rule in 94-my-custom.rules to this: KERNEL=="event*", MODE="0666" I've tested this on my Fedora 9 system - it works. I loked more carefully at the udev manpage and discovered that rules containing a NAME="something" assignment are special because they create a file in /dev that corresponds to a kernel event. After that all rules for the same kernel event that contain NAME="anything" are ignored because the file already exists, which is why the rule in your 94-my-custom.rules file didn't work. If you find out later that you only need read access to the events, change MODE="0666" to MODE="0644". BTW, running "ls -l /dev/input/by-id" and "ls -l /dev/input/by-path" may show you useful stuff since the items in these directories are all symlinks to the items in /dev/input. Martin
