[PD] Ubuntu 8.1 HID object

[tfric at learnkanji.ca]

Hi,

I have been unable to get the Ubuntu HID object working with my mouse or
my Wacom Graphire4 in Ubuntu 8.1. I am currently using Wintablet in
windows but to use it the top window has to be wintablet, not PD so PD
can't get keyboard events at the same time as wacom events.

I don't get error messages but no events come out. I searched the mail
archives and followed the advice there. I am not getting any output when I
do sudo cat /dev/input/event0-10 or /dev/input/mouse0 or /dev/input/mice
or /dev/input/wacom. The Xorg.conf doesn't contain anything related to
Wacom, it is all handled by HAL in Ubuntu 8.1. Is that where the problem
is coming from? Has anyone sorted this out already?
