+[[ uinput Trouble ]]
+--------------------
+
+On Ubuntu 9.04 the permissions of the uinput device have changed to
+0640, meaning only root has access to the device. To change this back
+so that users in the group root have access the device and in turn can
+run xboxdrv without sudo you have to create a file called:
+
+/etc/udev/rules.d/55-permissions-uinput.rules
+
+With the content:
+
+KERNEL=="uinput", MODE="0660", GROUP="root"
