I just tested on my new powerbook. Mouseemu starts just fine. I thus
suspect this is a problem specific to powerpc64. I'm not sure if you
have to recompile it for powerpc64, because it directly calls ioctl on
the uinput device. Probably someone with a deeper understanding of the
specifics of running 32bit userland programs on a 64bit kernel can shed
some light on this.
