Package "gpm"


General purpose mouse support

This program is based on the "selection" package, and allows you to use the mouse to cut and paste text from the screen. It also acts as a mouse server for applications running on the Linux console, such as the Midnight Commander and dialog. A second program, gpm-root, provides pull down menus to be called up by pressing Ctrl+mouse-key.

NOTE: This program may cause problems when you start X on a system that does not use a serial mouse. If you get an 'unable to open mouse device' error from X, disable gpm.
