I have a similar, but slightly different, problem on OS X (10.4, Macbook pro). A Logitech Marble Mouse (trackball) shows up as device 0, but I can't get any data out of it. The trackpad, on the other hand, is fully accessible through [hid]. Any ideas?

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...

Hi Simon,
Thanks for the fast response. No, it isn't. It's the standard
synaptic touchpad that comes with many laptops.Diego.

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
