Permission Denied when using raw mice

I’m implementing a mouselook in my game and after following the docs I’m getting:

:display:x11display(error): Opening raw mice: Permission denied /dev/input/event0
:display:x11display(error): Opening raw mice: Permission denied /dev/input/event1

:display:x11display(error): Opening raw mice: Permission denied /dev/input/event16
:display:x11display(error): Opening raw mice: no mouse devices detected in /dev/input/event*

I’ve tried sudo usermod -aG input [user] and relogged. Didn’t make any difference.

What can I do ?

I don’t think you should use the raw mice feature in order to implement mouselook. It generally requires root access.

Use relative mode instead.
