So, I was wandering around the web and came upon an interesting story over at Robots w/Lasers. We all knew it should be possible. We all thought it would be great. We all wanted it. Well now we have it. The Wii-mote can be used as a mouse. You don’t even need a driver or anything really, other than the normal Bluetooth and event processing stuff. There is a python script now available to translate the event stuff into mouse stuff for X.org or whatever needs the mouse. A great resource for this sort of stuff and more is over here at www.wiibrew.org. Very interesting stuff in there, including the math and such to convert the linear forces on the accelerometer into the rotational ones, something I know a lot of people out there were interested in.

Christmas Day falls on December 25. It is preceded by Christmas Eve on December 24, and in some countries is followed by Boxing Day on December 26. Some Eastern Orthodox Churches celebrate Christmas on January 7, which corresponds to December 25 on the Julian calendar. December 25 as a birthdate for Jesus is merely traditional, and is not thought to be his actual date of birth. Much respect! Hi dude!

A single candle in front of your monitor should be good enough to test it. You will know it's working because Player 1 LED will be lit when it is sending position data to the PC.

But even with the edition of my xorg.conf file, it isn't fully reckognized as a mouse, ie. the cursor won't move. B is mapped to left-clic, A seems to be some sort of Ctrl+Alt (zoom out Beryl). D-Pad working fine (LED colors), + button activates the rumble. Got it to partially work.
