What documentation is needed? Patch for gpm is developed to allow use a mouse control in a turbo vision programs with pseudo terminal as stdin/stdout. This feature can be tested with tmux or mc too. gpm sends some mouse events using a TIOCLLINUX syscall to a program in the current console which enabled a xterm-like mouse reporting (via esc-sequence \033[?1000h)
linux kernel has a TIOCL_SELMOUSEREPORT (TIOCLINUX) support since a version 2.2. But even current version of gpm don't support this. https://googledrive.com/host/0B35PjbLHNzyqNS13R0M1aEctND is an archive (with a real name gpm-xterm.tar.xz) on my google drive with a patch for a current version of gpm to support a mouse position reporting. Archive contain a patch, a test script, a binary of modified gpm and a test program atvedit (an editor from a turbo vision). Start it from a Midnigth commander (or a telnet session) to test a mouse reporting. atvedit don't start from a bash prompt if gpm is running.

Maybe a nice idea, but what about the documentation?
Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/telmich/gpm/pull/4#issuecomment-63289853
How is anyone going to use this without being mentioned in the docs?
"gpm supports now x-term like mouse reporting events on Linux console" in changelog and somewhere in the docs?
