Hi Joao,
I remember having the same problem a while back, and all it took to fix the wacom permissions was adding
KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", MODE="0666"
to your /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules file.
As for the RME Multiface, I used to have one and had so many problems with it that I sold it and bought an Edirol FA-101 for 1/4 the price. Its working great. But I think I was getting bad latency because my cardbus reader did not perform the right type of 'burst-mode' or something.
regards, rich

Hi,
I'm trying to configure my system to start using ubuntu (7.10). So far so good, unbuntustudio, pd (both versions) and jack are working.
I was looking into hid, but I don't have permission in udev to read /dev/input. I saw that there were some posts on the list about this, but no one was either clear enough/made for ubuntu (more for debian). I thought, instead of loosing lots of time on myself and potentially becoming frustrated and destryoing my system, I ask for 5 minutes to someone else and potentially will waste only 1/2 hour later, and everything will work. Also in puredata.info there was nothing about this topic, even though a great number of persons already went through these steps. I guess I'll do a report once things are working, for the next sucke.., uh, person who tries to venture into this.
Below are my xorg.conf and a list of my current input devs (identified, as I could with cat /dev/input/xxx). My questions would be:
- I'm using an ibm thinkpad with trackpoint & touchpad, + an usb wacom
Intous3. How can I get Pd (hid) to capture the Intuous3, without the intous3 controlling the cursor? [The trackpoint is using the "mice" driver, which apparently is wrong]
- is it possible for the intuos3 to behave like stated in pd, but like a
normal mouse controller outside of pd? I guess not, but just wanted to know.
- did anyone got the side pads and buttons of the Intuos3 to work? I saw
few documentation in the net about it. I got the pads on my xorg.conf, but I have no program that can test it for now.
I guess that might be it for now. Thanks for you r help.
Joao
PS: when this is finished, my next step will be the rme multiface. are there any good pages to look at that?
