11 This program needs read and write access to /dev/input/event*. It acquires this with a udev rule matching all /dev/input/event* files and assigning them to group input with 660 permissions. To use the program you must be a member of group input. Use `sudo gpasswd -a $(whoami) input` to add yourself to this group, and cycle your login for this to take affect.
13 This program can be easily called with `powermate`, and is recommended to be launched with your login or X start.
17 This executable file controls your powermate.
