Yes after setfacl they for once even work in x-plane, doouuh. Probably until the next reboot. I'll paste it again 

once the pedals are dead even after applying my script. (surely in the next days)

I'll try other distros evtest in virtualbox.

Subject: [Bug 1332444] Re: CH Pedals are not working in 14.04
 

Do you see it in "sudo evtest"? Do you get events there?

> Looks like I need to change distro

Feel free to play around, of course; but won't help that much as udev is
pretty much the same in all distros..

Title:
  CH Pedals are not working in 14.04

Status in systemd:
  Fix Released
Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  I've created a rule in lib/udev/rules.d as 99-xplane.rules:
  # CH PRO PEDALS USB
  KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{idProduct}=="00f2", ATTRS{idVendor}=="068e", MODE="0666"

  and even do at every x-plane start:
  cd /dev/input
  sudo setfacl --modify u:michael:rw- --modify g::rw- --modify o::rw- *

  but still my CH Pedals are often not working. (sometimes yes but not
  always)

  I expect my CH pedals to work out of the box like on Windows.
  But even with the above they only work sometimes.-
