I finally cleaned up my [linuxevent] object, got it working, and documented it. Its in the CVS, or you can download from my page:
http://www.pure-data.org/Members/hans/#linuxhid
[linuxevent] is an object that outputs the raw event data from the Linux Event system. With this object, you can use any device supported by the Linux Event system with Pd, including mice, joysticks, tablets, wheels, dials, etc.
Also included is [linuxmouse] and [ifeel] which work fine, and [linuxjoystick], which barely works. Once I get my hands on a tablet, I'll make [linuxtablet] to make things easier.
