Dear developers, I like to announce consolation, a gpm replacement.
Consolation is a daemon that provides pointer support to the Linux console for copy/pasting text. Consolation is based on the libinput library and supports all pointer devices (mice, touchpads, touchscreens, etc.) and settings supported by this library. One motivation for this is that the gpm code base is considered unmaintainable and do not handle well clickpads and current touchpads. For the time being, consolation homepage is: <https://alioth.debian.org/projects/consolation/> Unfortunately jessie libinput is too old, you need testing/sid. (Please CC me I am not subscribed) Cheers, -- Bill. <ballo...@debian.org> Imagine a large red swirl here.
