I think its a permissions issue, there was some discussion in the past
about it, but I don't remember off hand what the resolution was.
Check the archives. Basically, Ubuntu recently made it harder to get
the HID data in the interest of security. Hmm, this should be a FAQ
entry, but I don't think it is...
