Two possible problems: 1) You have gpm from RedHat with a patch that disallows users to access the mouse through libgpm. Recomplile gpm from the sources if that's the case. 2) It may happen that you don't have access to /dev/misc/psaux or to /dev/gpmctl. libgpm support is tricky to enable on modern systems, so it may be dropped in the future versions of MC if a better way of interacting with gpm will be found or developed. > I started to think it is a problem of devfs, but when I run the devfsd > daemon in order to have the symlinks of the old device names, the mouse > in mc still does not work. You are missing two steps between setting up devfs and checking mc: 1) make sure that gpm is running 2) make sure that the mouse cursor is moving when mc is not running. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
