Hello all! I want to use my remote control to log on as some user in xdm (kdm,gdm whatever). I mean when I press a spcific button it will log in as some user under X, and when I press another one it will power-off. i wanted to to it by sending keypress to the main window, or something anyone here has an idea how can it be accomplished? (I just want to trun on the copmuter and after it will boot-up I will press the remote control and will be able to watch TV without touching the keyboard) - diego |
