Hi,
I'm trying to use de hid librari in Xubuntu. I installed pd-hid.deb package without trouble and everything works perfect (usb mouse, keyboard, etc) except for the touchpad. It's not a permission issue, i've already gave permission to /dev/input/event0-9 and /dev/input/mouse0-2.
In my laptop the touchpad is located in /dev/input/event8, and when I give the [hid] object the message [open 8(, the console gives this result: "evdev EVIOCGABS ioctl: Invalid argument" and hid don't output any value.
I searched in the list archives but couldn't find any help. It was a message reporting a similar problem with a tablet but the replies didn't work for me.
thanks,
Diego.

is your touchpad a USB HID device?

Hi Simon,
Thanks for the fast response. No, it isn't. It's the standard synaptic touchpad that comes with many laptops.
Diego.

Chances are that the trackpad is an USB device, but just internal.
But I don't think that's the issue. I think in recent versions of
Ubuntu, the X server or related process grabs the keyboard and mice
using exclusive access. You have to tell the X server to not use the
mice that you want to use with [hid]. Check the archives, there is
quite a bit of discussion about it. It would be great to have a wiki
page about this...

I have a similar, but slightly different, problem on OS X (10.4, Macbook pro). A Logitech Marble Mouse (trackball) shows up as device 0, but I can't get any data out of it. The trackpad, on the other hand, is fully accessible through [hid]. Any ideas?

Hi Hans,
I've been checking the archives and found only one issue that has to do with the ubuntu problem and sais to put this line: KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", MODE="0666"
in /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules file.
The problem is that xubuntu 9.04 (jaunty) doesn't have this file any more and permissions.rules, i think, are given in other archives... i'm looking in ubuntu forums to see what can i do... If someone knows something about...
I have already tried to create the archive but it didn't work either.
thanks again,
Diego.
