Yeah, Stas already told me that. It was only strange that I was able to get mouse usage in the console when specifying those things, but not without specifying them, even when libgpm was enabled. > It doesn't quite help that by the standard of "dead" that was used in > the threads here, gpm is very much dead by now. libgpm can also be binary > incompatible from one distro to another one which is another PITA for the > binaries on dosemu.org. So what's the best way to set things up so that mouse works in both console graphics mode (i.e. $_mouse + $_mouse_dev set) as well as in terminal mode using libgpm without changing the conffile in between invocations? -- Ryan Underwood,
