How to make /dev/input/mouse0 accessible for wine?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I have a gaming mouse (specifically Genius DeathTaker) and its Windows driver. The configuration app (e.g. setting the meaning of the buttons) runs fine under wine. However, when I click "Apply", nothing happens.
I believe it has something to do with the fact that wine does not "see" the mouse at all.
I found out that there is a folder for mapping devices from Linux to wine. So
ls -l ~/.wine/dosdevices/
has the following output:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 10 Jan 22 19:38 c: -> ../drive_c
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 10 Feb 15 16:23 com1 -> /dev/ttyS0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 10 Feb 15 16:23 com2 -> /dev/ttyS1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 10 Feb 15 16:23 com3 -> /dev/ttyS2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 10 Feb 15 16:23 com4 -> /dev/ttyS3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 1 Jan 22 19:38 z: -> /
Next, I found that if I do
cat /dev/input/mouse0
and start moving the mouse, I see characters appearing in my console. So I read this forum post, but even after that I don't know what to do.

So mouse doesn't work? Does it work in windows without configuration/drivers? If not, first problem is that linux probably don't have a driver for it…

The mouse itself works, the problem occurs when I try to assign functionalities to its buttons.

Configuration utility just does nothing? Try toecho ooo > /dev/input/mouse0and look at error message. But I think that it isn't problem with access but with fact that windows use different driver for it and wine doesn't emulate (yeah, in this case it IS emulation) it.

sudo echo ooo > /dev/input/mouse0saysbash: /dev/input/mouse0: Permission denied. Kindof expected (at least in my point of view), since mouse is an input device. I solved the problem in the meantime by downloading virtualbox, installing windows into it, installing the driver and successfully updating the mouse. However, it is not a very nice approach.

You make a common mistake here:sudo echo ooo > /dev/input/mouse0executesechoas root, but writes as user! Tryecho ooo | sudo tee /dev/input/mouse0instead.
