I was tyring to get front row to open in lid closed but was having problems. I read the comments to see what was wrong. You dont need to have display mirroring on. To run in lid closed mode, close the lid, but wait till it falls asleep (snoring sleep light activated) then wake it up with the apple remote. The comp will wake up on your external monitor as if it were the only monitor; you could use it do do anything, not just front row. Then push menu on the remote to access front row, just like normally. Hey just a tip…

You could perhaps use something like a Dummy VGA Connector: <a href="http://soerennielsen.dk/mod/VGAdummy/index_en.php" rel="nofollow">http://soerennielsen.dk/mod/VGAdummy/index_en.php</a> Not sure if this would work or not.

Any suggestions?

See here: http://www.tuaw.com/2008/04/07/applescript-control-your-mac-with-an-e-mail/ I'm sure it'd be possible to write an Applescript to somehow communicate with the serial port - perhaps via an intermediary Python script? Good luck! Hi Mathew,
