Hey,
Please keep this on the list, there are a number of people that can
answer these kinds of questions and the response might be of interest
to others, and useful to have in the archives.
On GNU/Linux, [hid] uses the input.h /dev/input/event* interface.
Any device that is supported by the Linux input event system and has
a /dev/input/event* device will work.

HI,
Thanks, it worked. But I have another question : I own a wacom
intuos 1 tablet (serial connexion). I plug it on a usb-serial adapter, it works fine on Gnome-Ubuntu. The usb-serial adapter creates a port /dev/ ttyUSB0 wich drives the tablet. Is there a way to retrieve tablet info (position, pressure...) from [hid] ? If yes, how is it done ? If
no, do you know about an object that could handle that ?I've noticed also that I can retrieve from the mouse, but not from the synaptic pad. I've all authorization for that /dev/input/event3...
It is read by [hid] as available, but I cat retrive anything...Thanks

You need to have permission to read the /dev/input/event* devices. By default, you do not have permission on GNU/Linux. Check the archives for this list for more on that topic.

Hi,
I'm trying to use [hid] tu retrieve joystick infos on a linux box (Ubuntu Studio 7.10) : no joystick recognition. On Mac, if I
click on the "print" msg box, I have a list of all devices available. On
linux clicking on "print" doesn't list anything. My joystick is installed properly because I can use it with the [pd_joystick] extra.Why dont I just use [pd_joystick] ? Because I need to use 2
joysticks and only the first one is recognized on [pd_joystick]...Other thing : if you forget to put the toggle box to off when you select another device number, pd-extended (0.39) just close (brutally...).
