      i figured saying reboot would be quicker than explaining to a new user to login again either way will work. I didnt even check i just checked my command syntax before posting so I dont know if this is set by default

        @grant2258 in some older Stretch images I think the input group was forgotten to be set by default, but in recent releases this is corrected and works out of the box. I have installed various stretch images in recent months and they all come with the user correctly configured.

        Let's see if the user manages to fix the problem with your suggestion, that would be great news for the other guy on the other thread.

            @grant2258 sorry, I meant Raspbian Stretch for the RPI :)

                @grant2258 sure, but no need to install anything, as I said, in recent images it comes correctly configured: https://github.com/RPi-Distro/pi-gen/blob/master/stage2/01-sys-tweaks/01-run.sh#L39

                  @grant2258 .. but on a second thought, the report said:

                  I also tried with an old image that I had with RP 4.2 and Retroarch 1.6.7. And the trackball works fine with MAME2003 there. Then I upgraded the Retroarch Version to 1.7.X and it stopped working with the same error.
                  Seems that there is some kind of problem with the 1.7.x RA with mouses and trackball.
                  thanks

                  If the user is not in the input group, the older RA should also have failed. Anyway let's wait for the feedback, your suggestion still makes a lot of sense.

                    not necessarily the older ra could have used linuxraw as the input driver. I guess we can just wait for feedback. I would suggest a reboot though as emulation station is already running

                      @grant2258 yes agreed, a reboot would be a definitive approach

                          @albecacif just to confirm, can you execute groups ? this should show you all the groups the user belongs to. Did you reboot right?

                                  is your Logitech working when you select mouse index 1 in RA?

                                        The keyboard is working fine. Only the mouse fails.

                                            test your mouse in mame2003 with outrun believe it or not.

                                            left click will accelerate
                                            moving the mouse will turn the car
