[PD] hid object does not work for wacom tablet under Linux

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

[hid] on Linux relies on a /dev/input/event* devices.  If that device does not provide a /dev/input/event* device, then [hid] can't read it.  One possibility is that you are using an X driver for that tablet, so not a /dev/input/event* device.

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it.            - Thomas Jefferson
