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.
