fedora13 uses xserver version 1.8 (released april 2010, X11R7.5) and
XEVIE has been removed from the code since november 2008 (for X11R7.5)
and has been disabled by default since X11R6.8, where it was
originally integrated.
to be able to use XEVIE, you would have to get an older xserver and
enable it in the xorg.conf.

however, it is not recommended to use XEVIE any more, as it has been
broken and unmaintained for a long while now and other mechanisms of
recieving events are now in place. you might want to have a look at
XInput2 instead.

kind regards,
patric
