I never had any problems in 12.04 but I have never updated 12.04 also. So since the first 12.04 there's been some "clever" code 

probably from some mac freak... Would not surprise me at all, even MS or Apple...they have proven multiple times.

That part would need the "evtest" check that I described above. But
that seems to be something else than device permissions?

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)

  
  ------
  michael@michael-ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -rd
  Description:    Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
  Release:    14.04
  michael@michael-ubuntu:~$ 

  ----
  michael@michael-ubuntu:~$ apt-cache policy udev

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