| philipballew | What is a good wireless presentation tool to use for Ubuntu? | 20:47 |
|---|---|---|
| akk | The hardware slide-advancer thingies? I really like my Logitech. | 20:50 |
| akk | It's not as small as some, but works very well and goes forever on batteries. | 20:51 |
| philipballew | ah, yeah. As long as it works without problems I guess. | 20:52 |
| akk | Fortunately most presenters appear to the computer as a generic wireless keyboard, so most should work without any driver issues. | 20:52 |
| akk | You can get really cheap and tiny ones on ebay, and I've thought about getting one as a backup | 20:53 |
| akk | but if you use a laser with a tiny coin battery it's not going to last very long. | 20:54 |
| akk | With my Logitech, I think I bought it in 2007, put two AAA batteries in it then, and they're still going. | 20:54 |
| philipballew | akk, thats really a good value then | 21:02 |
| philipballew | So basically any will work as well since it sees t as a keyboard | 21:06 |
| akk | Generally yes. There may be some outliers that need a driver, but I've never actually heard of anyone hitting that. | 21:09 |
| akk | I wrote up what mine did when I got it, because I couldn't find anyone writing about the issue: http://shallowsky.com/linux/remote-presenter.html | 21:10 |

| akk | It might be that those volume control buttons send XF86AudioRaise/LowerVolume or something. I didn't know about those keys when I wrote that. | 21:13 |
