Wanted to share how I did it. <br>
So far I've only tried my p/s mouse with [hid] and it works.<br>
<br>
Followed this howto:<br>

<br>
The commands "udevrestart" and "udevcontrol" won't work on Lucid, but a
reboot is enough after completing these procedures in the terminal
(this should work on Ubuntu Jaunty and above)...<br>

# Then reboot and check if changes took effect with this command:<br>
<br>
ls -al /dev/input<br>

<br>
# result should be something like this (notice that event0, event1..
are now in the input group):<br>

Can't say I know exactly what I did, but if this is a good way to do
it, maybe a howto could be added to the Pure Data site?<br>
