Not functioning with latest xorg

[zakkudo]

For some reason the wiimote input has stopped working on the lastest versions of xorg on arch linux. It looks like it's not polling after the initial detection

Hey dvdhrm, I wanted to ask you some questions on the repository for if I take over the xf86 driver. Are you usually on any of the redhat irc channels?

[dvdhrm]

Please feel free to take over. I'd gladly add a note to this repository that someone else maintains it. You can find me on freenode as 'dvdhrm'.

I can confirm this bug.
xwiishow still works fine, but using it with xorg doesn't. Tell me if I can provide any information.

Found any workarounds/fixes yet?

I can confirm too. I am running Debian testing and I suspect the problem is root-less Xorg server. Here is the relevant part of my log located at ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log

Yes, it works! /dev/input/event* on Debian are owned by root:input, so adding myself to the input group solved the issue.
