In Ubuntu 7.04, I added the following line to /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules:
KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", MODE="0666"
I think things may have changed though.. might belong in a different file now. Look for whevever similar lines are for things like raw1394, usb, etc, and thats where this should go.
Anyone just know where this line should go? It lets all users use the /dev/input/event*'s.

Yes, [hid] use /dev/input/eventX, but really /dev/input/wacom is simply a link to /dev/input/eventX. i have also tried to cat /dev/input/eventX, same problem, no output.
if anyone have a tablet and using HAL, let me know if it's working for
you.

just to let you know, I got my little wacom volito to work with [hid] with /dev/inputX on ubuntu 8.04, as long as I change the owner of that to current user... ( sudo chown user /dev/inputX ) - I get XY and pressure info ... same as with all hid input actualy since ubuntu 7.10 (had a hard time before figuring that permission thing) but don't know how to change that on the fly ... could be cool to find as that /input/eventX change each time (reboot/change in usb/...)
