I've tried using [hid] and [linuxmouse] and both objects can open the device but no data is output from either object. [MouseState] and [cursor] both work but I was hoping to get relative values. Is this a driver issue? I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 and Pd version 0.42.5-extended-rc3. Here's the console output:
[hid] 0.7, written by Hans-Christoph Steiner hans@eds.org compiled on Jun 13 2010 at 11:45:43
Device 0: 'Macintosh mouse button emulation' on '/dev/input/event0' Device 1: 'AT Translated Set 2 keyboard' on '/dev/input/event1' Device 2: 'PC Speaker' on '/dev/input/event2' Device 3: 'Power Button (FF)' on '/dev/input/event3' Device 4: 'Sleep Button (CM)' on '/dev/input/event4' Device 5: 'Lid Switch' on '/dev/input/event5' Device 6: 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' on '/dev/input/event6' Device 7: 'Video Bus' on '/dev/input/event7' Device 8: 'PS/2 Generic Mouse' on '/dev/input/event8'
Supported events:
Detected: [hid] opened device 6 (/dev/input/event6): SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad print: open 1 print: device 6
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,
James
