Peter,
Going through my email and noticed your note. I have setup mythtv
using a touchscreen (a modified PSOne LCD with a touchscreen on the
front). Pretty easy to do and it all seems to function with mythtv.
I can give you pointers to the docs if you want. Here is a pic of it:

It was featured in the November issue of CPU magazine
(www.computerpoweruser.com <http://www.computerpoweruser.com/>) -
don't know if you get this in your country. The touchscreen functions
like a mouse so I am not aware of changes required to mythtv to
support this.
Thanks,
Greg

True but that is a one way solution. I want to see music lists etc, I
want two way communication in the SAME device.
I can come up with lots of solutions. This one would be really
cool and
that is why I want it.
All other HTPC projects I've seen support this. I think it is sad
that
Myth lacks mouse support since Myth i superiour when it comes to
everything else.
