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

Sorry, the setfacl call is a gaping security hole, not your custom rule.
But /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules already gives world-read
permissions on joysticks, so neither is required in the first place.

To find out more, it would also be good if you could install the
"evtest" program, run "evtest" (as user), select your Rudder Pedals, and
see if you get any events. Or copy&paste the complete output of the
program if it doesn't work. Thanks!

Title:
  CH Pedals are not working in 14.04

Status in “systemd” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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.-
