Matt/Tom/Joshua,
Ugh! I stand corrected. It does indeed no longer function as I once
thought. I spent some time verifying this before I responded. In a prior
release (I don't know which one), mythtv used to respond to the mouse (it
wasn't visible, but you could click on menu items and they would be
selected). I was under the impression this was still the case and so was
somewhat boldly speeking about what I had known, but that which isn't the
current reality. In any case, I apologize if I mislead anyone on the
current state of things. My Myth project has been in the works for some
time now and isn't in use all the time yet. In any case, I look forward to
the mods you have Joshua and thanks for correcting me.
Thanks,
Greg

I think the point that he is trying to make is that Myth does NOT work
with a mouse, last time I checked anyway, so the question is, what did
you do to make that happen?

You are completely correct. MythTV has minimal mouse support currently even
with the latest SVN. At most you can select some of the buttons and dialog
boxes in the settings menus on mythfrontend. You now have the option to
unhide the pointer. But the buttons in the menus are 'not' clickable.
However, a co-worker and I have a patch working with a 7 inch Lilliput
touchscreen and MythTV. Since the UI for the plugins are separate from
mythfrontend we have to add touchscreen/mouse functionality in each of the
plugins. Once the code is cleaned up I can post a diff if anyone is
interested. At most we plan to complete mouse support for mythfrontend,
mythweather and mythmusic. If anyone wants to add any support beyond that
go
right ahead. :)
After a conversation with Isaac Richards about adding this functionality to
the current SVN it makes sense why adding support for 0.18-0.19 won't
happen. In 0.20 it's planned to use the new UI (see mythuitest in SVN) and
that will allow for a single point for all MythTV applications to use for
building their UI. We may yet do some work on 0.20 when the new UI is
ready.
