Any reason why? Randall, your moused patches will send the non mouse related data to the /var/run/MouseRemote socket, so I think that maybe I'll tackle this by writing remoted to read the socket instead of having remoted feeding moused. That sound good? I like the notion of being able to 'select' an application and then the bulk of keys can go there. I'll see what I can do this weekend. Also, I've noticed something weird.. just randomly, since I've been running moused on the remote, my mouse cursor will jump around. Might I be getting RF interference? I live right off of Broadway in downtown NYC.. there is all kinds of things going on outside, and sometimes my speakers will just start picking up people's conversations on what seems to be radio tranmissions. Any ideas to stop my pointer from being moved around randomly? It doesnt seem to change the channel when the TV is on, or play with the volume or anything.. its just the mouse. Maybe something wrong with moused? -- ___________________________________________________________________________ Danny Dulai Feet. Pumice.
