The wait on /dev/gpmctl happens in Gpm_Open(). Gpm_Open() is called unconditionally by init_mouse(). init_mouse() is called uncondtionally by handle_mouse(). handle_mouse() is called unconditionally by enable_mouse(). enable_mouse() is called from toggle_mouse() (irrelevant) and from handle_trm() (unless Elinks was started with -remote). So the answer to the question "is there something you can put in elinks.conf to prevent Elinks from looking for a mouse ?" would be "resistance is futile ; there is nothing you can do to prevent Elinks from looking for a mouse". That's rather unfortunate as Gpm_Open makes Elinks unusable from inside screen(1), at least on my system. -- André Majorel <URL:http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/> _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users
