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 <miciah.mast...@gmail.com> _______________________________________________ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users
