Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Remote Destop, Keyboard & Mouse ONLY - Without Video/Graphics?
« on: August 16, 2008, 12:01 AM »
I realize that there are many 'Remote Desktop' programs, including the built-in Microsoft Remote Desktop and "GoToMyPC", etc., which allow a user on a network to see and control another computer. I also know that they tend to be slow, and suffer from quite a bit of 'Lag'.
What I'm looking for is the ability to use the Keyboard & Mouse on One Computer on my Local Network to control a Second Computer, skipping the Video/Graphics - Think using a Laptop on a LAN to control a Home Theater PC - I don't need the Video/Graphics, because I'd be able to see the Keyboard & Mouse activity on my High-Def TV Screen!
I'm sure such a program must exist, but my "Google-Fu" skills have failed me!
If such a beast doesn't exist, (a) It SHOULD! - and (B) It seems like it would be easy (?) to Code!
Hmm, using a Laptop via WiFi to control a HTPC? Seems like a 'Natural Match'!
Any Ideas, Suggestions, or Takers?
TIA!
