S-video out port and usb mouse

[butre]

Hi

I want to Use the S-video output cable to hook the pismo up to a TV so my son can watch dvd's on granddad's tv over the christmas period, I understand that you need to hook up the video output cable and boot up the PB shut the lid and use the mouse to control the applications? Is that the correct way of doing things?

I need a simple usb mouse which works fine on the PB Pismo, preferably the cheapest option, any suggestions on makes types and prices?

Hardware PB pismo 12gb, 256 ram, running os 10.1.1 + all software updates

I _THINK_ that once you've booted up your pismo in clamshell mode, you can open the lid and use the trackpad as usual. The screen of the laptop will remain blank, and the TV will be the main monitor.

Works in my TiBook, anyway
