Re: [DIGImend-devel] Genius PenSketch 12x9 in Ubuntu Precise (12.04)

Hi!

I have a look at this too. Based on this: http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html#basic
You can name devices like this too:
KERNEL=="hdb", NAME="my_spare_disk"

But my question is how you want to identify the pen?
To me there are no diferences from the udev perspective between the mouse and the pen.
I query the xinput for the devices pen=id 11 mouse id=12. (Based on xinput list --long 11)
xinput list-props 11 gives me the node: Device Node (264):	"/dev/input/event14"
udevadm info --name=/dev/input/event14 --attribute-walk gives me all the properties which I can use for creating rules. (or at least according to my understading....)
For the mouse:
xinput list-props 12 gives the node Device Node (264):	"/dev/input/event15"
udevadm info --name=/dev/input/event15 --attribute-walk gives the properties for the mouse
But if I see things well the mouse data the same as the pen's data. (See the attached txt.)

So the main question is still there: how do you make a deference between the mouse and the pen?

Right, and no reason for the names to be the same as Wacom's.  If we>

Sure hope we can get it working.>
