[PD] Question about hid external and polling

Hello,
So, I'm experiencing issues with [hid] object for listening my 
multitouchscreen device (linux).
I can confirm that some messages sent by the touchscreen are lost and 
not retrieved in Puredata using this object. I can observe this when I 
print in the pd-console  the output of Hid and compare it simultenaously 
with the output of an utilitary listening for the same device : evtest.

Is this list the best choice for reporting this issue or may I open an 
issue elsewhere ?
Thanks
