The problem that I had with /dev/input/even* devices is that it always changes when you unplug/replug your tablet. /dev/input/wacom is a symbolic link to the newly created input, no matter what event* it is. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

[hid] uses the input.h struct, which the /dev/input/event* devices give. I don't know what /dev/input/wacom outputs. Try using an /dev/input/event* device.<br>

hello<br>
<br>
few years go, i used a wacom with the [gemtablet] object. this was working perfectly.<br>
but i now realize that this object is no more part of Gem (since 3 years).<br>
the dummy object that replace it say that one must use hid instead.<br>
so did i.<br>
<br>
but i failed making it work.<br>
<br>
i'm using linux and hid from pd svn.<br>
<br>
i send a "open /dev/input/wacom" message to the hid object, and get as only answer : info: open 0<br>
info: device 0<br>
<br>
if i start pooling, then the wacom did not work anymore, and i have to reboot the computer to make it work again.<br>
<br>
playing a bit more with that object made pd to crash.<br>
<br>
any suggestion to make my wacom work with hid?<br>
any other object that could get data from a wacom?<br>
or should i try to get the old sources of gemtablet to compile again???<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
Cyrille<br>
