    I've tried the forums for an answer.  Which I hate posting to these things.  My own reason.  So any ways here is my problem.

    I'm using fedora 8 and have have gizmod installed.  The problem is the only thing that seams to work with my powermate is the Powermate Visualizer script.  Nothing else happens I'm tried opening a firefox browser and nothing happens.  I'm tried modding different scripts and nothing happens.  So how can I tell if its working.  I've even changed the script order.  Any help would be great or if some one could point me to an updated script.

      Well I figured out the problem.  Its seam that since the powermate looked like it was working I had assumed that my mouse and keyboard where not the problem.  After plugging in a wired mouse and keyboard the powermate is working fine now.  Not to other don't use wireless interfaces with gizmod. At least that is the lesson I have learned. I still have a problem with ctrl c not stopping the gizmod deamon.  Everything works fine in ubuntu but not so much with fedora 8.

    Late reply but, the key here is to detail which of your logitech devices is keyboard and which is mouse. I had exactly the same issue:

    Standard - Logitech USB Receiver  vId: 0x46d pId: 0xc51a
    Standard - Logitech USB Receiver  vId: 0x46d pId: 0xc51a

    Using the debug mode ( -g ) I determined which of the two was mouse, which keyboard. Then edited the "/etc/gizmod/GizmoDeviceStrings.py", specifying the "event3" for keyboard and "event4" for mouse (in my case).

    Then when running gizmod I now get:

    Registering Devices:

        Standard - Directory
        Standard - Power Button  vId: 0x0 pId: 0x1
        Standard - Power Button  vId: 0x0 pId: 0x1
        Standard - Macintosh mouse button emulation  vId: 0x1 pId: 0x1
        Keyboard - Logitech USB Receiver  vId: 0x46d pId: 0xc50c
           Mouse - Logitech USB Receiver  vId: 0x46d pId: 0xc50c
        Standard - UVC Camera (046d:0994)  vId: 0x46d pId: 0x994
        Standard - HDA Digital PCBeep  vId: 0x10ec pId: 0x883
       Powermate - Griffin PowerMate  vId: 0x77d pId: 0x410
            LIRC - LIRC

    gizmod knows what's a keyboard and what's a mouse - only then did my powermate start functioning.

    Easy? No.
