Hi Hans,
I've been checking the archives and found only one issue that has to do with the ubuntu problem and sais to put this line: KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", MODE="0666"
in /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules file.
The problem is that xubuntu 9.04 (jaunty) doesn't have this file any more and permissions.rules, i think, are given in other archives... i'm looking in ubuntu forums to see what can i do... If someone knows something about...
I have already tried to create the archive but it didn't work either.
thanks again,
Diego.

Chances are that the trackpad is an USB device, but just internal. But I don't think that's the issue. I think in recent versions of Ubuntu, the X server or related process grabs the keyboard and mice using exclusive access. You have to tell the X server to not use the mice that you want to use with [hid]. Check the archives, there is quite a bit of discussion about it. It would be great to have a wiki page about this... .hc On Jul 15, 2009, at 12:26 PM, Diego Azar wrote: Hi Simon,
Thanks for the fast response. No, it isn't. It's the standard synaptic touchpad that comes with many laptops.

Hi,
I'm trying to use de hid librari in Xubuntu. I installed pd-hid.deb package without trouble and everything works perfect (usb mouse, keyboard, etc) except for the touchpad. It's not a permission issue, i've already gave permission to /dev/input/event0-9 and /dev/input/mouse0-2.
is your touchpad a USB HID device?
Simon
