Hello BLFS Support,
I have solved the problem regarding the mouse working correctly in
VirtualBox after installing gpm-1.20.3
So you are in /sources when working on the package; cd gpm-1.20.3 and do
the operations required.
Then comes dealing with the bootscript before running 'make install-gpm'
I failed to return to /sources for the bootscript operation and went on
with it in gpm-1.20.3# instead.
All good.
Btw after you install lynx and run it in VirtualBox it sits in
Ctl-Alt-F1 and your bash # will be able for login in Ctl-Alt-F2
Now to learn to use lynx.
Cheers
Fosca

Hello BLFS Support,
Just a small matter re my mouse non-behaviour in BLFS.
So when I installed GPM the mouse did not respond to do select text.
Instead it remained as a pointy arrowhead.
I did select PS/2 in the initial Virtualbox setup.
Then we have this:
cat > /etc/sysconfig/mouse << "EOF"
# Begin /etc/sysconfig/mouse
MDEVICE="/dev/input/mice"
PROTOCOL="imps2"
GPMOPTS=""
# End /etc/sysconfig/mouse
EOF
I do wonder if I didn't forget to do :
/etc/rc.d/init.d/gpm init script included in the
blfs-bootscripts-20200818 package.
Maybe I'll do that GPM + bootscript again.
Cheers Fosca
