Wow, thanks, I'm actually getting the following feedback from the device 
now!

$ hidd --connect 00:0B:24:40:C7:83

Every keypress/mouse movement triggers these "unknown events", so it 
looks like it's responding correctly. However, how do I interpret this 
information so X can use it as a keyboard/mouse, and set things up so 
Fedora configures it as such automatically?

Chris
