programs that use mouse in linux VC (through libgpm) have lost this feature wit the new libgpm. libgpm contains code that always fails if only not TERM=xterm. --- login into a linux VC, start mc, try to do smth with the mouse. It doesn\'t react upon mouse actions. The same thing in GNU Emacs started in a VC. There, you are able to see the error messages printed by libgpm (in \'*Messages*\' buffer: C-x b ...): they very similar to those printed in Eterm+mc (see #1086). --- libgpm-1.20.1-alt0.1rc1
Fixed in gpm-1.20.1-alt0.2rc1
Now the situation is better, but not perfect. $ rpm -q mc gpm libgpm; rpm -V mc gpm libgpm mc-4.5.99a-alt2 gpm-1.20.1-alt0.2rc1 libgpm-1.20.1-alt0.2rc1 After running /sbin/pam_console_apply, the mouse works in mc and in links in linux VC. (That\'s not good that after upgrading gpm, the permissions are not correct for /dev/gpmctl.) Ctrl-O in mc doesn\'t work as expected (doesn\'t show the hidden screen), probably because of the debugging garbage from libgpm. (For instance, start man rpm in the backscreen of MC, then press Ctrl-O a pair of times, and you won\'t see the man-page.) GNU Emacs still reports errors, this is for sure because of the debugging messages printed out by /usr/bin/mev. Please, disable debugging output of libgpm.
Running man is a bad example. Well, simply a shell prompt should be there, in xterm it is there, un linux VC thje screen is empty.
Added call to /sbin/pam_console_apply at the gpm startup in libgpm-1.20.1-alt0.3rc1
$ rpm -qa \\*gpm\\* libgpm-1.20.1-alt0.5rc1 gpm-1.20.1-alt0.5rc1 Again, programs run in linux console don\'t work with gpm: links has no reaction on mouse clicks at menu-items (links-0.97-alt2). mc crashes. Emacs+mev doesn\'t work as they should.
Latest fix (libgpm-1.20.1-alt0.5rc1) apparently breaks libgpm in linux console.
Fixed in libgpm-1.20.1-alt0.6rc1
