Question about
kernco

I'm using my Mac Mini pretty much exclusively for Front Row right now. I have it hooked up to a TV and my external hard drive with all my media.

Most of the time, the only input device I use is an Apple Remote. I have it set to automatically sleep after a few minutes. This worked while I had a keyboard plugged in, but since I rarely needed to use it, I finally unplugged it. But now it will never go to sleep on its own, and I always have to press the power button. I noticed that when I exit out of Front Row, there's a window saying it can't find a keyboard, and my assumption is this is why it isn't going to sleep. Is there any way I can get around this without having a keyboard connected at all times?
