just to let you know, I got my little wacom volito to work with [hid]
with /dev/inputX on ubuntu 8.04, as long as I change the owner of that
to current user... ( sudo chown user /dev/inputX ) - I get XY and
pressure info ...
same as with all hid input actualy since ubuntu 7.10 (had a hard time
before figuring that permission thing)
but don't know how to change that on the fly ... could be cool to find
as that /input/eventX change each time (reboot/change in usb/...)
