Processing library cannot access the keybroad

The "Game Controller Plus" library for Processing cannot access the keyboard.

The following program doesn't work.

import org.gamecontrolplus.*;
public void setup() {
  ControlIO c = ControlIO.getInstance(this);
  c.getDevice("Keyboard");
}

It outputs the following:

Failed to open device (/dev/input/event1): Failed to open device /dev/input/event13 (13)
<SNIP>
Failed to open device (/dev/input/event1): Failed to open device /dev/input/event1 (13)
Failed to open device (/dev/input/event0): Failed to open device /dev/input/event0 (13)
Linux plugin claims to have found 0 controllers

I noticed that /dev/input/event0 was owned by the "input" group, so I added my user to the "input" group, still the same result.

I tried running processing as root, and the output was

Linux plugin claims to have found 8 controllers, 

Any ideas on how to get this to work with my normal user?
