Libgaminggear provides functions and widgets common for gaming input devices. For input events to work for users (needed for software macros and such) they need access rights for uinput or uhid. To use them as normal user you should create an extra group. The default is uinput-users but you can specify a different group before running the script: GROUP="groupname" ./libgaminggear.SlackBuild You will need to create the group # groupadd -r -g 317 $GROUP and add all needed users to this group # usermod -a -G $GROUP $USER
