This is a real "mini" how-to: The Logitech 2.4Ghz Cordless presenter should work out of the Box. Just plug it in and Fire up OpenOffice.Org Impress. Once you are in the program you can launch your presentations by hitting the: F5/ESC button on the presenter. This works under FreeBSD 6.2-p7 AMD64. In case you need to fiddle around, the command: xev will output the "X"-events of a pointer (man xev) once you know the different codes you could bind them with: xmodmap Small example: xmodmap -e 'keycode 130 = XF86AudioMute' More info on this page: http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2006/05/14/using-targus-wireless-multimedia-presenter-with-linux/ It deals with the Targus presenter. Anyhow, the Logitech 2.4Ghz Cordless presenter works on *NIX. Keycodes: +/- : 50 Back : 99 Forward : 105 F5 : 71 ESC : 9 Blank scr : 60
