Hi all.
I found a program that is supposed to install and enale front row on
a non-intel mac mini. It does indeed add the app to /System/Library/
Core Services and I can see the front row shortcut key (default is
command escape) in the keyboard shortcuts outline in System
Preferences Keyboard and mouse. It does show a new checkbox in sound
under Sound Effects for front row sound effects. However, when I hit
command escape, nothing ahppens. What should ahppen? Should I see a
window somewhere? Is there perhaps a setting I need to change or do I
possibly need to have a monitor for this to work? Or could there be a
conflic with using command escape somewhere?
The website I found is

This isn't Apple-authorized and it does modify a couple of system
files so be careful; you are toldhow to restore those files if you
uninstall front row or somehow corrupt them. I'm a little unsure
about the ethics of this; front row won't work without the
modification of enabler but there isn't an option for getting the
modification directly from Apple. So I'm not sure if I should be
doing this since I'm basically trying to use an Apple app witout
buying the required Intel apple machine.
