# These are Linux udev rules (man udev) that setup device access permissions on your
# Linux system so that unprivileged user processes like Matlab and Octave - and thereby
# Psychtoolbox - can access pieces of hardware relevant to Psychtoolbox.
#
# This allows to run Matlab/Octave safely as non-root user (without the "sudo" command)
# and thus have full access to Linux low-level functionality.
#
# This file should be copied to /etc/udev/rules.d/ on a Debian/Ubuntu compatible/derived
# Linux distribution. It has been tested on Ubuntu Linux 10.10. After copying the
# file you need to reboot your machine once for all settings to take effect.

# Rules to allow Psychtoolbox to access the MMIO registers of all supported GPU's
# while running inside an unprivileged Matlab/Octave userspace process without sudo root,
# as long as the user is member of the 'psychtoolbox' Unix user group.

# For each attached ATI GPU, set the permissions on its resource2/5 files to o+rw to allow mapping BAR-2 and BAR-5 from unprivileged userspace apps like Psychtoolbox:

# Mapping Intel gpu's is dangerous without coordination with the kms driver, proper power management, power well control etc.
# Also current kernels don't allow mmap()ing anyway... Just left here for reference.

# Set latency timer of FTDI serial-over-usb chips to 1 msec, as this is used by
# our PsychRTBox.m driver and similar drivers for low-latency data reception over
# FTDI USB serial ports. We have this here just as a backup. The IOPort driver itself
# will set the latency_timer to 1 msecs if 'ReceiveLatency' is set to a value <= 0.001
# seconds. Yet another way to do it is to use the user-callable shell command:
# "setserial /dev/ttyUSB0 low_latency"
# On current Linux kernels, this isn't strictly needed, because the ftdi_sio
# kernel driver inits low-latency mode on its devices by default since kernel 2.6.31
# from June 2009:
