The default permission restriction for /dev/uinput also affects AVRCP
devices connected via bluetooth to control the a2dp signal.

I believe you should use the highest number of the rules, not the
lowest. In Karmic I had rules with 45-*.rules and 70-*.rules. When I
created a 45-wminput.rules nothing changed, but using 70-wminput.rules
fixed the problem.
But now, I'm on Lucid and I just have one rule before adding wminput, so

I have several other rules in there, the one with the lowest number is
called 45-.rules, so I named mine 45-wminput.rules. After
this wminput still needed to be run with sudo.
Eventually, I "fixed" this by editing sudoers and allowing there for
wmimput to run with sudo without asking the
@gfnord Danny's solution worked for me in Lucid. You also have to "sudo
modprobe uinput" or add it in /etc/modules.
Which other rules do you have in /etc/udev/rules.d/ ?

I was able to fix this in Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10.
What I did was went to the directory
/etc/udev/rules.d/
And looked at what files were there one was
70-net.rules
So when I created my wminput rules I went to terminal and typed sudo
gedit then when it opens you have root control then you type
It seems that the rules editing workaround doesn't work anymore in
ubuntu 9.10 karmic koala...
Even with adding these two rows :
KERNEL=="uinput", MODE="0666"
KERNEL=="uinput", GROUP=""

I think this is appropriate. It does sound like one should expect this
to get fixed anytime soon, but the bug seems valid, confirmed, and an
imporant one for the package.

You're right, that was undiplomatically stated. uinput insertion SHOULD
require root privs. Fundamentally, this is insecure and automatically
adding users to groups and so on doesn't change this. Short of finding
a way to remove uinput requirements, there's no way to secure this app.

Funny, I would have been fine with 'input insertion SHOULD require
root privileges for security reasons' or something like that, but I'm
going to have to go with Scott's rhetorical question on this.

This is probably due to permissions. uinput can listen and inject
keystrokes, so by default it's restricted to root.
The manpage has a few suggestions on how to work around this; try "sudo
wminput" and see if it still errors out.
If sudo fails, can you attach the output of "lsmod"?
