Hi,

I'm trying to configure my system to start using ubuntu (7.10). So far so
good, unbuntustudio, pd (both versions) and jack are working.

I was looking into hid, but I don't have permission in udev to read
/dev/input. I saw that there were some posts on the list about this, but
no one was either clear enough/made for ubuntu (more for debian). I
thought, instead of loosing lots of time on myself and potentially
becoming frustrated and destryoing my system, I ask for 5 minutes to
someone else and potentially will waste only 1/2 hour later, and
everything will work.
Also in puredata.info there was nothing about this topic, even though a
great number of persons already went through these steps. I guess I'll do
a report once things are working, for the next sucke.., uh, person who
tries to venture into this.

Below are my xorg.conf and a list of my current input devs (identified, as
I could with cat /dev/input/xxx). My questions would be:
- I'm using an ibm thinkpad with trackpoint & touchpad, + an usb wacom
Intous3. How can I get Pd (hid) to capture the Intuous3, without the
intous3 controlling the cursor? [The trackpoint is using the "mice"
driver, which apparently is wrong]
- is it possible for the intuos3 to behave like stated in pd, but like a
normal mouse controller outside of pd? I guess not, but just wanted to
know.
- did anyone got the side pads and buttons of the Intuos3 to work? I saw
few documentation in the net about it. I got the pads on my xorg.conf, but
I have no program that can test it for now.

I guess that might be it for now. Thanks for you r help.

Joao


PS: when this is finished, my next step will be the rme multiface. are
there any good pages to look at that?
