I have a logitech wireless keyboard/mouse, but just lost the tiny usb wireless receiver.
I want to use my laptop as the keyboard for the other machine (Ubuntu 10.10) until I replace the keyboard and mouse.
Is it possible to control the console session's keyboard over ssh? I only want keyboard control, I don't want to use something like VNC because the video is too slow.
EDIT: I'd like to be clear that I want to be able to control gui applications running on the console session, so something like gnu screen won't (as far as I know) help with that.

x2x does exactly what you want:
Now you can move your mouse to the left of your laptop and it wii appear in that other machine. Keyboard 'goes' there too.
You'll need to enable X forwarding in that other machine's sshd.
