Hi Paul,

Fedora 4 on a i686 should work just fine. First you need to be sure  
you have that you have permissions to communicathen e with the  
device. As root do 'chmod 666 /dev/input/event*'. You can set this  
mod set this mod permanently using udev, look in /dev/udev/ 
permissions.d/50-udev-permissions.
Then start evrouter in dump mode 'evrouter -d /dev/input/event*' turn  
the PowerMate around and see what evrouter spits out.
For more details have a look at Alexios Chouchoulas homepage (the  
programmer who wrote evrouter) http://www.bedroomlan.org/~alexios/ 
coding_evrouter.html

Hope this helps!
