Udev rules are for old performance mode driver

[rotech]

The udev rules that allow normal users to change the mode are still for the old performance driver /sys/bus/surface_aggregator/devices/01:03:01:00:01/perf_mode

I have tried an updated rules set (below), but unfortunately I can't get it to work, I have never had much success getting my head around udev.

ACTION=="add" KERNEL=="acpi" RUN+="/usr/bin/chmod 664 /sys/firware/acpi/platform_profile"
ACTION=="add" KERNEL=="acpi" RUN+="/usr/bin/chown root:surface-control /sys/firware/acpi/platform_profile"

Oh, you're right. We should probably remove those from the package (and maybe also README) since the platform-profile is not exclusive to Surface devices. Also, there's a Gnome daemon / Desktop integration, so these rules are probably not that useful any more (and I'm not sure if they'd conflict with any other rules distros may ship for that).

I've removed them in ad49362 / v0.4.5.

And I have no idea why the rules you posted don't work. Maybe `platform_profile is not a "device" in the udev sense?
