[slinkelist] re: remote mouse

[keith alexander]

You helped me, maybe I can help you

My config is as follows:
an old p233 in the closet
PC DVD with a loonng IDE cable and an external little
power supply also a CDR 
Old ATI Rage II
fm receiver card
RCA IIIrd gen DSS
Acer websurfer IR keyboard (w/a little joypad mouse)
x10 8 in 1 (with my fm transmitter mike mod)
Changers tucked in the closet
My Mutilated Screen Saver App:
  No longer a Screen Saver
  Pop up playlist menus (ir controlled)
  Pop up video overlay (for dvd)
  Cover art fades in an out so as not to burn the TV, 
  colors of the text all 'dances' with music: annoying
  voice control (using fm mike in remote (see old
post)
I just trap the ir remote 'keystrokes' as slinke
events and do something with them in VB.  Simple.
sweet
except that the PC is always on.

Note of caution:  My TV has begun to behave
erratically, and is way out of alignment at the edges,
it never did seem to like PC input very much (just
svideo, but the ATI card seems to have fragged it)
