I currently have an HDTV hooked up to a desktop computer running Gentoo and xfce4, all controlled by a wireless keyboard/mouse from the couch. It's awesome. However, I think the next step is to control everything from a laptop on the couch. There would be a normal xfce4 desktop on the laptop, but you could issue certain commands to have video or audio played through the desktop connected to the TV across the room.
How would you set this up? Maybe the actual xfce4 session is being run on the desktop and the laptop uses VNC or NX to control that session? Is there a way to have certain audio or video launched on the laptop via VNC or NX, but outputted by the desktop? - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
