Hey there,

THE PROBLEM IS: When i turn the powermate nothing happens....no input.
The Pmate seems to visualize my keystorkes and mouse movements...nothing else.

I although copied the scripts like that:

mkdir -p ~/.gizmod
cp -r /etc/gizmod/* ~/.gizmod/

Any suggestions? ( no the pmate is not broken it works fine on my macbook)
Thx in advance, Fl0
