Hi, I think I mistakenly didn't send the earlier mail to the mailing list. What I had mentioned was to search for "presentation remote" in any of the popular market websites.
As for compatibility, a couple of such remotes are connected via USB and "just work" with linux. They act like a keyboard once they are plugged in. I have personally seen this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16880100770 All the buttons except the "Blank screen" (next to Esc) work out of the box in linux.
