Well, it is not necessary, but helps $USER to control the mouse. You need to write some hex-values to /dev/usb/hiddevX to change the settings of the mouse, and as this file is owned by root, you need either to be root or to change the permissions... The possibilities to work with are: 1. let the binary as it is, and tell $USER he has to use sudo or su 2. set the binary suid-root (the code looks OK for me - IANASE) 3. create some new group and let udev give this group write permission to the 'file' -> IMHO overkill for such a small util I could live with 1, but I think 2 is more userfriendly. > You set CFLAGS in debian/rules and then patch Makefile to contain the > same CFLAGS.

The problem is, I need -DVERSION=foo in CFLAGS, which I think I should not set from debian/rules... I've changed the patch now to -CFLAGS=-Os -DVERSION=\"$(V)\" +CFLAGS += -DVERSION=\"$(V)\" and call CFLAGS="$(CFLAGS)" $(MAKE) from debian/rules - why the hell I need to set them before make?
