SuSE 10.3 with the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick

Hello,

I hadn't posted on here for a while... mostly due to Novell and most
importantly the users addressing the issues we run into. SuSE 10.3 has
really been a joy to play with but with that said I have ran into
situation with the above titled joystick.
For the life of me, I couldn't get the usb connected joystick to work.
I pretty much knew it was a permissions issue but didn't have a clue
on how to place in a permanent fix. A friend of mine came up with this
and shared it as I am do with you here. The below will require your
favorite text editor with root permissions....

Located in the following directory /etc/udev/rules.d , edit the 50-
udev-default.rules file. I'm posting my old followed by my new....

Old...
# input devices
KERNEL=="mouse*|mice|event*" NAME="input/%k", MODE="0640"
KERNEL=="js*" NAME="input/%k", MODE="0644"

New...
# input devices
KERNEL=="mouse*|mice|" NAME="input/%k", MODE="0640"
KERNEL=="event*" NAME="input/%k", MODE="0666"
KERNEL=="js*" NAME="input/%k", MODE="0666"

As always, be careful on how you administer your permissions as this
can turn your system into a leaky Windowz box..... Oops, was that my
outside voice?

If you come across a better way to make a Logitech USB work, please
post on here, :)
Best wishes to the group on the up and coming New Year....
