The problem that I had with /dev/input/even* devices is that it always changes when you unplug/replug your tablet.  /dev/input/wacom is a symbolic link to the newly created input, no matter what event* it is.

[hid] uses the input.h struct, which the /dev/input/event* devices give.  I don't know what /dev/input/wacom outputs.  Try using an /dev/input/event* device.

hello

few years go, i used a wacom with the [gemtablet] object. this was working perfectly.
but i now realize that this object is no more part of Gem (since 3 years).
the dummy object that replace it say that one must use hid instead.
so did i.

but i failed making it work.

i'm using linux and hid from pd svn.

i send a "open /dev/input/wacom" message to the hid object, and get as only answer : info: open 0
info: device 0

if i start pooling, then the wacom did not work anymore, and i have to reboot the computer to make it work again.

playing a bit more with that object made pd to crash.

any suggestion to make my wacom work with hid?
any other object that could get data from a wacom?
or should i try to get the old sources of gemtablet to compile again???

thanks
Cyrille
