Hello Daniel, I have just tested your patch and while it seems to work, I get: selection: TIOCLINUX: Invalid argument each time I press a button. > The reason I have set BUTTON_RELEASED=0 in my current_button enum and > not to 3 is mainly just a habit, I like to be able to initialize things > with all 0 and have them in some sort of neutral or default state. Well, but if the kernel defines BUTTON_RELEASED to be 3, consolation should do the same. Do you know where in the GPM code this ioctl is used ? Do you have an example of program where this feature will be useful? (it should probably use TIOCL_SELCLEAR) Cheers, Bill PS: I have moved consolation GIT repo to salsa.debian.org: <https://salsa.debian.org/consolation-team/consolation>
