I used to be able to do this (I've since formated the box) The basic idea was to setup X with a second mouse, there is instructions (i believe on the lirc site). The second mouse was the lirc remote, dedicate one button to turn on/off the mouse, and set the arrow pointers on the remote to move the mouse cursor.
The benefit was that when you activated/moved the mouse cursor the screen saver turned off, plus you now have a cheap wireless mouse! -Paul On Wed, 2004-01-14 at 13:03, Victor Putz wrote: > All is reasonably well with my weak spare-parts Freevo (go go gadget > Celeron overclocked to 450 MHz, just burning up the sky...). > > Except for a couple of things.
