As I said already, the gpm and raw
mouse accesses are mutually exclusive
in most cases, which means if $_mouse_dev
works, libgpm cannot be used in that
environment (with a few minor exceptions).
Apparently your environment is root-console.
Setting $_console=(0) or not giving dosemu
a root privs will make the libgpm access
possible.
