My Active Home X10 remote controller's IR receiver went bust and I intent to go out and get another unit. So far it looks like Active Home's remote controller is the best solution for FreeBSD couch potatoes 8) The X10 remote controller allows you to use your own mouse as well as the IR unit so it saves you an RS232 port or you can share your PS/2 port. The unit is a standalone IR controller for various appliances and is an X10 IR controller It uses the microsoft mouse protocol so it is easy to use out of the box 8) However to use the extra buttons we will have to define the mouse events in the X server. The above combination is kind hard to beat Cheers, Amancio
