AW: Mouse movement - no events?

[Hohl, Gerrit]

Hello Thomas,

I switched the TERM environment variable from "linux" to "xterm-1003" in the 
virtual console. Afterwards I didn't get any mouse events at all.
I also changed the "Terminal-type string" in PuTTY (which can be configured at 
"Connection > Data". And I got the same result: No mouse events at all.

Maybe I should add that my mouse support currently depends on the GPM package. 
I don't know if there are other ways and if GPM supports mouse movement events.

Regards
Gerrit

It depends upon the terminal description.  (xterm-1003 is one...)
