Hi

I installed Houdini 8.1.866 into my P4 running Ubuntu 6.10. The install went fine and Houdini launches but at the same time I kept getting this message:

X11 Error (169): BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device

for three lines.

Anyone know what it means?
Probably something unimportant but I'm really curious. ops:

Thanks

Those 3 errors are caused by 3 lines of code in your xorg.conf file pertaining to a Wacom device. Specifically

InputDevice “stylus” “SendCoreEvents”
InputDevice “cursor” “SendCoreEvents”
InputDevice “eraser” “SendCoreEvents”

Though the errors really don't cause any problems other than spewing stuff to the console, you can comment out those 3 lines and you won't receive the errors anymore. Though if you ever want to use a wacom tablet you will have to go back and uncomment them.

# InputDevice “stylus” “SendCoreEvents”
# InputDevice “cursor” “SendCoreEvents”
# InputDevice “eraser” “SendCoreEvents”

Hi Grahamt

Thanks for the info.
Now I don't have to wonder what it all means and wondering whether I've had bad installation but don't know it due to my inexperience with the package.

Cheers
