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

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.

   [hid] uses the input.h struct, which the /dev/input/event* devices
   give.  I don't know what /dev/input/wacom outputs.  Try using an
   /dev/input/event* device.

       hello

       few years go, i used a wacom with the [gemtablet] object. this
       was working perfectly.
       but i now realize that this object is no more part of Gem (since
       3 years).
       the dummy object that replace it say that one must use hid instead.
       so did i.

       but i failed making it work.

       i'm using linux and hid from pd svn.

       i send a "open /dev/input/wacom" message to the hid object, and
       get as only answer : info: open 0
       info: device 0

       if i start pooling, then the wacom did not work anymore, and i
       have to reboot the computer to make it work again.

       playing a bit more with that object made pd to crash.

       any suggestion to make my wacom work with hid?
       any other object that could get data from a wacom?
       or should i try to get the old sources of gemtablet to compile
       again???

       thanks
