Question: is this intended to be run as root?

More info: I downloaded the binary and ran it as a non-root user and got some permissions errors (and 3-finger drag didn't work). Running it as root, however, produces no errors and 3-finger-drag works.

In case useful, here's the output from running as non-root user:

$ ./libinput-three-finger-drag

Expected device added events on startup but got none. Maybe you don't have the right permissions?

Root is not necessary. Just add yourself to the input group. You can verify by running libinput debug-events. There should be no error.

Thank you - that worked perfectly.
