Setting up Elisa as Default Multimedia Center
first of all install elisa via package manager
sudo apt-get install elisa
then configure elisa to run at fullscreen by editing file $HOME/.elisa/elisa.conf and changing line
# whether or not Elisa should start fullscreen
start_fullscreen = ‘1′
go into System > Preferences > Preferred applications and on Multimedia Tab select custom and enter text elisa into the white box
then setup the key bindings through applet System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts and click on Media Player then click the button combination you prefer. If you own an HP laptop with QuckPlay key or whatsoever laptop with a media key just push it.
You will find that the QuickPlay key both on the keyboard and on the remote control will switch on elisa from now on, letting you show off your linux mediacenter!
You can grab the latest version by adding Fluendo Elisa repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://elisa.fluendo.com/packages hardy main
then add the authentication key
wget http://elisa.fluendo.com/packages/philn.asc -O - | sudo apt-key add -

Ok thanx..that was a great help…sorry the bother you but one more question..
i’m using gutsy..is there a way to install the last version (0.3.5) ? instead of the old one?
pressing ESC key…
unfortunately since there is no esc key on the remote control you should set one of the keys (I’d use the windows one) as the esc key by following my guide http://aldeby.org/blog/index.php/en-hp-pavilion-multimedia-buttons-configuration-under-linux-linux-quickplay.html
i downloaded the application and it’s great…and i tried your tweak for the full screen mode..but after i start
the application and the full screen mode starts HOW CAN I EXIT THE PROGRAME?!
