This seems to be a bug in GPM, so I recompiled Elinks with --without-gpm, but was surprised to find the mouse handling still works. Out of curiosity, what does Elinks use in the absence of GPM for mouse handling? And what do I lose by using this fallback instead of GPM? Thank you. I'm not entirely sure, but I don't think that you gain anything from GPM in X. GPM is needed for mouse support on the Linux console, but XTerm and other terminal emulators for X can send programs the appropriate codes for mouse actions without need for GPM. -- Miciah Dashiel Butler Masters <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list [email protected] http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users
