This isn't a major issue, just kind of an annoyance. Occasionally I'll Leopard's Screen Sharing application on my MBP to make a configuration change in XBMC (full screen) on the MacMini attached to my TV. The problem is, when I do this I get what I guess are scan lines flickering in the Screen Sharing window, it's annoying and makes reading options tough. Is there anyway to prevent this, is there some sort of refresh rate that I specify that works for both SS and my TV? Thanks.
Make me the third... I use the apple remote most of the time but since my mini has no keyboard/mouse Screen sharing is used to tinker add/remove files, etc. etc.

There are issues involving full screen and XBMC functions that drive me nuts, those being the flicker issues, OS X curser not disappearing sometimes and OS X and XBMC cursor "separating" from the OS X cursor.
You can use a free software called teleport (http://abyssoft.com/software/teleport/) to use a laptop as a remote control : it's really useful.
Once it's installed on the two computers, you can use the keyboard and the mouse of your laptop as they would be connected to the remoted computer :nod: and use them directly to your TV screen (drag 'n drop is also possible between the two cumputers)
try it it's free :grin:
PS : only one annoyance, if you are in fullscreen mode in xbmc you can't go back to the laptop

Interesting software but I don't see what the benefits are over the built in screen sharing in Leopard. Guess I'm just hard coded into using ARD for everything :P 200gb XBOX Media Center (XBMC) - OZtion Auction Item 3561487::

Change to windowed mode, it's better because your mouse can access all the options this way too.
That's funny, you're the second person I know who uses a laptop via screen sharing as a remote control.
Hopefully the enhancements coming up with respect to Apple Remote and remotes in general will make your approach less needed.

Which bar? I have a mac mini plugged into my TV and I can switch between full/windowed mode with little issues. Just note that when in full screen mode you have to keep the mouse in the same area that would be taken up by windowed mode. If you move it outside the cursors separate and you can be stuck with a black cursor sitting on top of your move. Also when you
