First: sorry for crossposting on two lists (inux-audio-user; pd-list), hope it doesn't bother anyone...
Second thing: hello!
Third thing: the facts:
I now own a Wacom Intuos 2 tablet which I'd like to use with Pure Data just like a MIDI controller. I plugged the thing in my PC equipped with Ubuntu Hoary (kernel 2.6.10-5 included in the distro) and it works plugnplay out of the box as a mouse would ("pointing device" seems to be the scientific name for that stuff).
The two things I'd like to be able to do are:
- Stop using the tablet as a pointing device. To make it simple: I'd
like it to stop moving my cursor over the screen!
- Be able anyway to input data into Pd (x, y, pressure would be an
appreciated plus...)
If it is possible to do, I'm sure someone has done it already. If I'm lucky he reads the lists...
How should I procede?
Thanks in advance...

probably you are using /dev/input/mice in the xconfig file. that is, all mice are concentrated in a single device. just tell xwindows to use /dev/input/mouse0 (or similar, depends on your actual setup), and it will only use that particular mouse input...

hans-christoph steiner's linuxevent or hid objects are your friends for that ...

How should I procede?
- find the device that is only your mouse and put that in the xconfig instead
of the mice device
- find the device that is your tablet (it is usb, isnt it?)
it should show up under /dev/input/eventX, where X is a number. usually, /dev/event0 is the keyboard, event1 the mouse, so event2 could be the tablet.
to check: open a console window and do a "cat /dev/input/event2" (you may need to be root for that, depending on the permissions set) and move the pen on your tablet. if you get garbage when you move the pen, you found it. if not, repeat with other numbers, 1,2,whatever ...
Thanks in advance...

Thanks very much Christian!!
I managed to disable pointing with my Wacom.
I'm currently digging into Hans' [hid] object...
Seems it can give me x and y but pressure remains unseen...
Anyone managed to get it with a Wacom Intuos 2 tablet??

maybe try [linuxevent], since that one will give you the raw events..... but im not sure if that one is still actual, or if it is superceeded by [hid]

[linuxevent] should work, but its not maintained any more. It was the
first stab at what became [hid]. One of these days I am going to make
[linuxhid], [windowshid] and [darwinhid] which will just output the raw
data from the OS.

If you are using [hid], it should show up since that object just dumps
the raw info on Linux. If you send [hid] a [print( message, it'll tell
you all of the elements that it found.
I used a really big wacom with [hid] and got all of the parameters. I
don't know which model it was.

Hi Hans,
I have another trouble now.
The palette is working quite nice on my Ubuntu Hoary system but this was only for pre-test purposes.
I now have to make it work on my Debian testing (kernel 2.6.8) system but the [hid] object crashes with segfault eveytime I start polling on any device (touchpad, mouse, tablet) except keyboard. Maybe the right modules are not loaded in the system. I tried having a look in Google, nothing turned up.
The only differences I can think of between the two machines are:
- One is Ubuntu ([hid] works well), the other is Debian testing ([hid]
crashes).
- One is kernel 2.6.10 ([hid] works well), the other is 2.6.8 ([hid]
crashes).
- One has USB 2 ([hid] works well), the other only has USB 1 ([hid]
crashes).
- One is a desktop machine (works), the other is a laptop (crashes).
Do you have any idea where it can come from?
Tell me if you need output from anything.
