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. pat
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/...)
