Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Tue, 11 Nov 1997 23:27:50 -0800 From: Amancio Hasty Sender: owner-freebsd-multimedia@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Went out today today to Fry's in Palo Alto, Ca. and stumble upon a Wireless Mouse-Remote for PCs and X10 devices. It costs $49.99 . More info on the remote control at http://www.x10.com If anyone knows anything about the low level protocol for the Mouse-Remote please post so far I can use it with my logitech mouse. The IR unit comes with an rs232 connector so you attach your mouse to it. So far , my Remote-Mouse can act as microsoft mouse and I can still use my packet radio logitech mouse. Not sure how to proceed with the remote-mouse to write a separate utility or to just modify the X server to make it aware of my Remote-Mouse. Guess, the first step is to just write a simple app to receive commands from the Mouse-Remote. Cheers, Amancio
