    Possible Duplicates:
    Remote control Linux keyboard/mouse
    Remote control a computer using another computer

    I have my TV connected to a computer which I can start remotely via ethernet from another computer. I would love to use my laptop as a remote for the keyboard and mouse to browse my movie library on that computer etc.

    Is there a software I can install on that media computer and on my laptop to control the keyboard and mouse? With VNC I also have the video which I don't want. I would want to just switch seamlessly.

      @sblair: the tag says windows-7, so it's not exactly a duplicate.

      @alex Yes, but I think it's close enough of a duplicate to be closed, because the answer is almost certainly the same in each case. If not, then how about this or this?

    You voted to close and answered? Some people frown upon that.

    Although, I'm not sure it's necessarily bad, given the arguments in the latter parts of: blog.stackoverflow.com/2011/01/…. Should this be meta'd?

    If an answer is a duplicate I like to give a very short answer and point to the duplicate. If the OP requires more detail they can read the duplicate.
