Quoting Stephen Powell ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > This will allow the use of the mouse both in a virtual > console and in X. Not only that, but "hot swapping"
Not to mention the various remarks that have been made, I would like to enhance that ppl who use the Linux console on a regular basis (which is usually what motivates activating a mouse on it) are perfectly able to know that gpm is the package to install if one wants support for the mouse in the console. So, do we really want to install/configure GPM for any user of the system, knowing that a very large part of users will never use it....and those who might need it are perfectly able to figure out how to do "aptitude install gpm" ? In short, I don't think that having gpm by default is worth it.
