I've never used hid or linuxmouse. And when I saw your message I gave it a try (since I'm also running Ubuntu and have a synaptics touchpad).
I'd like to help but here it seems to be even a bigger mess... it crashes when accessing the mouse evice with hid. (probably because of the user space issue that dmotd mentioned).
How did you get that device list? Is it a print from hid? (the only things I remember is lspci and lsusb)
Best regards to everyone, and big up to Hans-Christoph Steiner for hid and linuxmouse, Pedro

also another tip, its possible to configure a device dynamically with 'xinput', you can toggle off with: xinput --set-prop "name of device" "Device Enabled" 0 i use this with my wacom tablet to go between xorg device and HID, a full set of properties can be found with: xinput --list-props "name of device" i hope this is of help.

using
Ubuntu 8.04 and Pd version 0.42.5-extended-rc3. Here's the console

Also my xorg.conf has this info:
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad" Driver "synaptics" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "FALSE" Option "VertEdgeScroll" "FALSE" Option "SHMconfig" "on" Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "TRUE" Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "TRUE" EndSection
Any ideas?
thanks,
