About

XWii is a program that translates input from the Nintendo Wii_TM Remote into X11 input (such as keyboard events and mouse movements).

This means you can play games and control programs in Linux with the Wii Remote, Classic Controller, Nunchuk and Wii Guitar.

The best way to see the potential of XWii is to check out the Demo Videos.

What do I need to set it up?

You need to be running Linux with X11 (if you have Linux but don't know if you have X11 or not - you probably do).
You need a Linux-compatible bluetooth dongle or similar device (my belkin USB dongle works great).
You obviously need a Wii Remote.
Then try these instructions
