[PD] Hid doesn't detect devices

[João Miguel Pais]

Hi,

I was trying to run hid on ubuntu, but it doesn't detect any devices. I  
don't have many, just the normal keyboard+touchpad (IBM Thinkpad), and  
also an usb external cordless keyboard+mouse from Logitech.

Pd just says
"error: [hid] open /dev/input/eventX failed
error: [hid] can not open device X"

(I replaced the numbers with an X)

and the output of |print( is

Supported events:

Detected:


I looked for documentation, but there's only a README file saying how to  
compile the package.
my /dev/input/ looks like:

crw-rw----  1 root root 13,  64 2006-04-22 14:47 event0
crw-rw----  1 root root 13,  65 2006-04-22 14:47 event1
