<title>Introduction to GPM</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>The <application>GPM</application> (General Purpose Mouse
|
|
daemon) package contains a mouse server for the console and
|
|
<command>xterm</command>. It not only provides cut and paste support
|
|
generally, but its library component is used by various software such as
|
|
<application>Links</application> to provide mouse support to the application.
|
|
It is useful on desktops, especially if following (Beyond) Linux From Scratch
|
|
instructions; it's often much easier (and less error prone) to cut and paste
|
|
between two console windows than to type everything by hand!</para>

The <envar>MDEVICE</envar> setting depends on which type of mouse you

have. For example, <filename>/dev/ttyS0</filename> for a serial mouse
|
|
(on Windows this is COM1), <filename>/dev/input/mice</filename> is often
|
|
used for USB mice and <filename>/dev/psaux</filename> for PS2 mice.
|
|
<envar>GPMOPTS</envar> is the 'catch all' for any additional options that
|
|
are needed for your hardware.</para>
