This feature requires the evdev kernel module and read access to the /dev/input/eventX file corresponding to your controller device. Kino searches across all device files to locate the first controller; so you just need to make sure your user account has read access to all event device files. Kino comes with a udev rules file that ensures that all users have read access to the device file. It also sends a signal to a running instance of Kino when you plug in the jog/shuttle controller. The rules file requires build configure option of --sysconfdir (e.g., =/etc) or --enable-udev-rules-dir (e.g., =/etc/udev/rules.d).
