damn. I was really hoping. I will forge ahead then as I really want my SW yoke to work for stunrunner. Any chance you are thinking about going to 49 ways? That will be my next uncharted territory.

I believe the answer is yes, and the reason is udev.
this was one of the links from the Gentoo udev page:
http://webpages.charter.net/decibelshelp/LinuxHelp_UDEVPrimer.html
where the author wrote:
"As of kernel-2.6.13 using devfs is no longer an option."
So I suppose it's possible you are using devfs (deprecated now) and not udev.

FYI, I chose them so I could use the GGG boards and digitally restrict the joysticks to 2 way vert or horiz, 4 way, 4 way diagonal, 8 way, etc. I am planning a cocktail and that way the same stick will work for joust, defender, qbert, mspacman, etc. Jeez this is starting to sound like a sales pitch. Like I said it is uncharted territory so we'll see how bad the headaches are. 8)

got it working last night so the permissions came up correctly after reboot!
I went into /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules and changed this line:
KERNEL=="event*", NAME="input/%k", MODE="0600"
to read like this (red is new stuff):
KERNEL=="event*", NAME="input/%k", MODE="0660", GROUP="games"
save the file, reboot, and you're done. Assuming of course that your mame user is a member of group games.
