This is a great bit of kit….no self-respecting developer should leave home without it :O)
I needed to find a way of integrating it with Ubuntu Linux. Enter evrouter which integrates with USB devices. I installed evrouter. Added the following to .evrouterr (this maps keys to Griffin Powermate:
Window “”
“Griffin PowerMate” “” any key/256 “XKey/XF86AudioMute”
“Griffin PowerMate” “” any rel/7/1 “XKey/XF86AudioRaiseVolume”
“Griffin PowerMate” “” any rel/7/-1 “XKey/XF86AudioLowerVolume”
Typed sudo evrouter /dev/input/event*
I need to improve things by checking udev so it is automatically picked up when plugged in. But until then I have volume control!!!!!
