[PD] Using pd with Wacom Intuos 2 in Linux

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

If you are using [hid], it should show up since that object just dumps  
the raw info on Linux.  If you send [hid] a [print( message, it'll tell  
you all of the elements that it found.

I used a really big wacom with [hid] and got all of the parameters.  I  
don't know which model it was.
