Hi Hans,
I'll be very happy to test a prototype once you have one.
Anything I can do (short of reading the data on OSX and passing it via network to linux) to get this screen working on linux?
I guess I can try the X driver for it and use "gemmouse" but yuck.
So I'm curious why the damn thing works on OSX, since its linux-input and not HID.. or is it HID, but only on OSX????
Thanks. .b.

Yes... this is something that needs to be addressed. On GNU/Linux [hid] isn't really [hid] after all, its Linux input. Bad naming on my part.
/dev/input/event? and /dev/usb/hiddev0 have different data formats, hence the crashing.
So yes, to use /dev/usb/hiddev? devices, there needs to be a proper [hid] object.

Hey Hans,
So my magictouch touchscreen does have a device file created, but it is not a /dev/input/event file, but is rather a /dev/usb/hiddev0 file.
So I'm not sure how the HID stuff related to the input device stuff, but it looks like the touchscreen is HID, but not linux event.
Anyhow I tried making a symlink from /dev/input/event3 to /dev/usb/ hiddev0 but that just crashes PD. I guess since HID is expecting linux input formatted data, not raw HID data.
What can I do to get this to work? I want to use HID and not the X windows driver, since i don't want the installation to interfere with the mouse.
Do I have to wait for [hid] proper (rawhid) or is there anything I can do to make this hid device compatible with the linux input system?!?!?!
Thanks. B.
