hi james, the synaptics driver generally steals the focus of the device so that userspace programs can't directly access it, see if the Xorg option 'Option "GrabEventDevice" "false"' helps, see 'man synaptics' for more info. cheers, dmotd James Dunn wrote:I've tried using [hid] and [linuxmouse] and both objects can open the device but no data is output from either object. [MouseState] and [cursor] both work but I was hoping to get relative values. Is this a driver issue? I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 and Pd version 0.42.5-extended-rc3.
