trying to use gpm without X, having a little trouble

[Patrick]

Hi Again Everyone

I hope I am not spamming the list, Thomas, feel free to speak up if I am!


I have mouse support enabled in my program and it's working great under 
X. I took X down with ctrl-alt F1 and tried again with gpm running it 
didn't work.

I tried to recompile ncurses with a flag to specifically enable gpm:

./configure --with-gpm --enable-ext-colors --enable-ext-mouse --enable-widec

but it doesn't seem to work.

Should it have worked? I can just use the gpm calls but it would be nice 
to use it through ncurses.

BTW I have downloaded gpm and the source is less then 10K lines of code. 
Perhaps I will be able to understand it, add support for columns beyond 
231 and create a friendly fork.
