'Griffin PowerMate' '' any rel/7/1 'XKey/XF86AudioRaiseVolume' 'Griffin PowerMate' '' any key/256 'XKey/XF86AudioMute' Ĭreate /etc/evrouterrc or $HOME/.evrouterrc (I prefer /etc/evrouterrc) with the following content: Window '' Make a file /etc/udev/rules.d/les with the content: SUBSYSTEMS='usb', ATTRS='Griffin PowerMate' GROUP='powermate', MODE='0666'' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/lesĭownload and install evrouter from or use the repository at. Please bear with me and do the following. This is how I got my volume control with Griffin Powermate USB device working in Ubuntu Saucy Salamander 13.10 amd64. I needed something more definitive, there is none available. My sincere thanks to all the people from the references. It was frustrating and finally I got it going and I do want to share with you all how I did. If you put evrouterrc to /etc/evrouterrc you can skip the -c /somepath/evrouterrc part of the commandįor a very long time I had been struggling to get powermate working in Ubuntu, my favourite OS. Optionally you can put this in a script in your $PATH and then you could launch it using a single command

starts a new evrouter with the specified config file, and looks up the attached powermate device ( should be somewhere at /dev/input/by-id/usb-Griffin_Technology_Inc._Griffin_PowerMate-event-if00).

kills any previously started evrouter commands.1 & sudo evrouter -c /somepath/evrouterrc $(find /dev/input -iname '*powerm*') Once your PowerMate is connected simply run: sudo pkill evrouter & sleep. You may change the mapping to anythings else ex.: volume control events using: XKey/XF86AudioLowerVolume and XKey/XF86AudioRaiseVolume 'Griffin PowerMate' '' any rel/7/-1 'XButton/4' # scroll < 'Griffin PowerMate' '' any rel/7/1 'XButton/5' # scroll > 'Griffin PowerMate' '' any key/256 'XButton/2' # click A simple way to get it working (tested on xubuntu 15.04):Ĭreate an event mapping file for evrouter with the contents: # /somepath/evrouterrc
