Hi 
This is linux so I wouldn't say it was easy but the jivelite and
squeezelite installation instructions worked well. Please note the LCD
isn't a touch screen but the people who sold me the screen provided an
image that got the screen to work. I think they embedded the relevant
framebuffer. On the pi with and LCD, I had to identify the resolution
"fbset -v" and then choose a skin on jivelite that fitted.  Whereas on
the example I built on a headless model B+  without a screen,  jivelite
worked fine once I had Xfvb installed and running prior to launching
jivelite. 

I've added a link to the original post on how to install Gizmod to allow
control of devices. This gets to the point where you can add the
Powermate and make sure linux understands it. Then  I  had to write a
gizmod script to pass commands and also amend Jivelite to accept the
commands: for fun I wanted the powermate to control the now playing
screen. You could of course just leave jivelite alone and have the
powermate scroll and enter only.  

I'll add a  second post to discuss how to configure Gizmod on the pi a
bit later.

Hope this helps, 
Thanks
San
