using CDM, Console Display Manager, so I can actually have my system work in a hybrid way with or without graphics. By the way, the thing about X and Wayland sessions, it also affects the Lynx 2 browser. So in Lynx 2, you can have the regular Linux console with inline graphics and using a GPM driven mouse, or kick it off from X11 and use the X11 mouse drivers. But no GPM mouse for KMSCon. Compared with Lynx, which has mouse support only in an X term. So GPM is a driver, in case you don't know, dear listener, is a driver within Linux. Slackworks has it and there's even a startup script for it, just in case you want it. It's etc.rc.drc.gpm-sample. And this activates this driver. And the driver makes your mouse work in a console. Not the Linux terminal. The Linux terminal, pretty much like at least modern terminal emulators like console and gnome and gnome terminal, whatever. They already respond to your mouse in many ways. I can select things. I think I could probably even, I think I can (22/53)
