Re: [Qemu-devel] [vfio-users] [PATCH v2 1/3] input: add qemu_input_qcode_to_linux + qemu_input_linux_to_qcode

[Jonathan Scruggs]

Oh. I just changed /dev/input/eventx (replace x with correct number for my devices) to permissions of 666 and it worked. I guess I had to change the conf file and change the permissions. Is there a way to make the devices work with qemu? The permission user is root and group of input for all the eventx devices. Do I need a udev script or is there a qemu user that can be added to the group of input?

Thanks

libvirt uses cgroups to restrict qemu.  You can tweak cgroup_controllers
in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf, when you remove "devices" controller it
should work (unless something else like selinux or apparmor applies
additional restrictions).
