I found it invaluable to have full mouse support in the Linux console, Unfortunately ncurses and vim have to be recompiled when you install GPM only late from the BLFS book.
This problem is mentioned in the BLFS wiki as well (http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/GPM) along with an imho rather critical patch. As recompiling ncurses is not a trivial task, why not move GPM over from BLFS?
