No, it isn't missing /dev/uinput should have permissions set to work also from user.
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-app-linux-input-proxy/blob/master/qubes-rpc/qubes-uinput.rules
It works on my system, and also on freshly installed R3.1-rc2. I think there was a bug somewhere there previously, ensure you have the latest version.

I just tested it on a freshly installed 3.1-rc2... It didn't work, I had to add
sudo, and now it works.

Ah, I see. Known issues:
USB mouse (in case of USB VM) does not work at first system startup (just after completing firstboot). Workaround: restart the system.

Also - check permissions on /dev/uinput. Maybe just sudo udevadm trigger would be enough to fix it (without system restart)?

Nope, it didn't help. I tried connecting the mouse after the 1st reboot.

With the latest updates on 3.1 this seems to be working without sudo now :)

Apparently this problem still happens. It looks like without uinput module loaded /dev/uinput is present anyway, but with wrong permissions. Loading uinput module fixes the problem.

The command specified in
/etc/qubes-rpc/qubes.InputMouseshould start with asudoor else the forwarded mouse won't work (despite the policy specifying user=root, there is /dev/uinput permission problem). Possible the same problem applies to qubes.InputKeyboard (not tested).
