For force feedback and other strange rules for devices that need special permissions you need to enable ACL. Now usually [GKX]DM enable this automatically, but when logging in from console without those installed you won't have the proper permissions. To enable this you need to add the following line:

session optional pam_ck_connector.so

to /etc/pam.d/login. However this depends on consolekit which is in [extra]. So I believe the best action would be to leave it commented with a note mentioning it's usage. For example:

# Enable this with consolekit installed to have ACL handle non-standard udev permissions
#session optional pam_ck_connector.so

This is very minor, but would help people hitting themselves on this issue possibly.
This task depends upon

I see no reason not to add this helpful comment. If nobody objects, I'll do that in the next week or two.
