A Linux kernel with support for uinput, evdev and joydev is needed:

Linux Kernel Configuration: Device Drivers → Input device support

...
<M> Joystick interface
<M> Event interface
...

Linux Kernel Configuration: Device Drivers → Input device support → Miscellaneous devices

...
<M> User level driver support
...

To use this software without root access, create a new group:

groupadd input

Add your user to this group:

usermod -aG input kratz00

And then log out and login in again to take effect of this changes.

Create a udev rule file:

cat > /etc/udev/rules.d/98-input.rules << "EOF"
KERNEL=="uinput", MODE="0660", GROUP="input"
EOF

After restarting the udev daemon, load the kernel module:

modprobe uinput

The uinput device permissons should look like:

crw-rw---- 1 root input 10, 223 2008-05-19 22:30 /dev/uinput
