      @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

                                      @grant2258 after the feedback it looks like indeed it is an RA issue then.

                                      Great that you will scalate it to the RA guys. As a hint, my best guess of where the problem might be is in this post: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/20004/mouse-as-a-zapper-lr-fceumm-rpi-3-b/29
                                      I don't have time nowadays to debug it myself unfortunately :( Thanks!

                                        Hi,

                                        The outrun version that I have only runs on FBalpha.

                                        Thanks a lot for your help :) I think this is a RA issue since it works fine in a 1.6.x version.

                                          Maybe it's this issue in the RetroArch's issue tracker ?
