You need to have permission to read the /dev/input/event* devices.
By default, you do not have permission on GNU/Linux. Check the
archives for this list for more on that topic.

Hi,
I'm trying to use [hid] tu retrieve joystick infos on a linux box (Ubuntu Studio 7.10) : no joystick recognition. On Mac, if I click on the "print" msg box, I have a list of all devices available. On linux clicking on "print" doesn't list anything. My joystick is installed properly because I can use it with the [pd_joystick] extra.
Why dont I just use [pd_joystick] ? Because I need to use 2 joysticks and only the first one is recognized on [pd_joystick]...
Other thing : if you forget to put the toggle box to off when you
select another device number, pd-extended (0.39) just close (brutally...).Regards,
