Yeah, Stas already told me that.  It was only strange that I was able to
get mouse usage in the console when specifying those things, but not
without specifying them, even when libgpm was enabled.

So what's the best way to set things up so that mouse works in both
console graphics mode (i.e. $_mouse + $_mouse_dev set) as well as in
terminal mode using libgpm without changing the conffile in between
invocations?
