<pre>In /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules there is a rule that says
SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="ts[0-9]*|uinput", MODE="0640"
Still, my /dev/uinput shows up with mode 0600. After some confusion on my
part, I found this Gentoo thread:
<a href="http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-951834-start-0.html">http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-951834-start-0.html</a> which explains that
uinput belongs to the subsystem "misc" rather than "input". Testing the
udevadm command suggested in the thread, that is equally true on my Fedora
system, as expected.
>From what I can understand, this is a bug in the udev rules file. And that
file belongs to the systemd package (systemd-208-2.fc20.x86_64.rpm), why I
guess this is the correct place to report.</pre>
