It's the same as using dosemu -s without KMS in console mode, with $_mouse_dev="/dev/input/mice". In both cases you need to change permissions on /dev/input/mice so the user can read it. > Furthermore, I worry if this works at all: what if gpm will read > data from /dev/input/mice concurrently with SDL? IIRC, this normally does not happen. SDL changes the console into graphics mode (an ioctl -- see console_ioctl(4), KD_GRAPHICS) DOSEMU in console mode does the same thing. GPM only does its cursor drawing and mouse select functionality if the console is in text mode. (yes this statement conflicts with the SDL patch you pointed to but agrees with GPM documentation which states: "While the current console is in graphic mode, `gpm' sleeps until text mode is back (unless `-R' is used). Thus, it won't reply to clients. Anyways, it is unlikely that mouse-eager clients will spur out in hidden consoles.") > But I took the code of SDL-2 branch, and it seems they have > dropped all the console mouse support, and instead are using > directfb API.

But I haven't tested it yet (it's also a driver in SDL 1.2) Anyway after some testing I think the devel branch is fine. The console exitemu regression was from May last year, and independent of coopthreads_v2. So I now finally did what you suggested and master is up to date again.
