Are you by any chance using screen? I can't get any programs inside screen (inside a virtual console) to recognize (gpm-driven) mouse clicks. I first noticed with elinks and thought it was an elinks-specific problem, but then I reproduced it in vim as well. Outside screen, in a regular virtual console session, elinks and other programs all do recognize my (gpm-driven) mouse clicks. My recommendation is: are you sure that other programs are seeing the gpm clicks in the same environment where elinks isn't seeing them? By "not seeing the clicks" I mean the programs themselves don't respond to the clicks. I am however able to select text from the console, switch to a different console, right/middle click, and have the text pasted in there... -- Jim Pryor j...@jimpryor.net _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users
