[mythtv-users] Re: Mouse pointer

[Scott Blomfield]

Isaac has stated before rather emphatically that this functionality will
not be put in. He does not want a mouse pointer visible while MythTV is
running, and neither do most of the users. I wasn't arguing with you why
it should or should not be there, I was telling you why it is not and
will not be there, unless Isaac has a very large change of mind (read:
extremely unlikely). Please search the list archive at gossamer threads
for more information.

Well I find my PC easier to use than my VCR. I like being to change a
setting at the end of the page without having to step over all the
ones before.

If you set up your remote properly it will work as a mouse :-)

I don't want the pointer over live video, just the control screens.
It would be nice to have the option to not hide the pointer. From what I
can tell, it look like the mouse works correctly, the graphic pointer
is just hidden.
