NAME
gizmod - allows scripting of input events through Python scripts.
SYNOPSIS
gizmod
gizmod --server
gizmod --server --keyboard-leds
DESCRIPTION
Gizmo Daemon is an advanced input device controller that enables any
Linux input device to be used for any purpose imaginable. Input events
can be mapped to control applications (console and X11), the ALSA
system mixer volume, Amarok, or any other application. Events can be
directed at other devices as well (keyboards, mice, force feedback,
joysticks, LIRC remotes, etc).
Gizmo Daemon also offers support for devices with visualization
capabilities (such as the Griffin PowerMate’s LED). In this way a
number of system events can be sent to any devices which have
visualization abilities. Current monitor plugins include: system
volume, CPU usage, sound output from any libVisual compatible music
player (such as Amarok), and more! This means you’ll be able to watch
your PowerMate (or any other supported device) dance in time to music!
OPTIONS
--server
In order to use the libVisual plugin (which can visualize music
on the PowerMate’s LED, or on the Keyboard’s LEDs starting with
Gizmod (v3.1), you’ll need to run Gizmod as a server.
The Amarok plugin is really just a Gizmod client that sends
sound visualization events to the server, so if Gizmod isn’t
running as a server, the plugin won’t be able to connect, and
you won’t get see any visualization events.
--keyboard-leds
In order to allow Gizmod to take over your keyboard LEDs use
this switch.
