I thought the Authorization gui in F9 exposed the acl stuff for devices.
Following the pda example you started in the Authorizations gui tree
aka polkit-gnome-authorizations from a terminal cmdline
org
->freedestop
->hal
->device-access
->"Directly access PDA devices"
Doesn't that directly related to the acl settings for the devices
marked with the pda capability?
Oops, yes it does. Shame on me.
How would I go about getting another sort of device similarly listed
in the gui under device-access?
At a minimum, you'd need a policy file similar to
/usr/share/PolicyKit/policy/org.freedesktop.hal.device-access.policy
for the device class. I'm not sure if this needs specific HAL modifications
to add new classes, though. Try it and find out?
