argggh. your are right : pd did not have permission to read the input device.
starting pd as root help a bit : now both linuxevent and hid can open the device. but they does not send any data...
thanks Cyrille

Does pd have permissions to open /dev/input/wacom (or any of the event*'s)?

the problem i have is that both does not work! :-) c Rich E a écrit : 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.
