Starting emacs daemon in console as:

emacs -u user -chdir /home/user --fg-daemon=emacs.user --debug-init

outputs:

Loading t-mouse...
Loading t-mouse...done
Error setting gpm-mouse-mode: (error Gpm-mouse only works in the GNU/Linux console)
Starting Emacs daemon.

Consequently mouse won't be usable when connecting to daemon, whereas standalone emacs launched in console has mouse enabled.

Context:

cat /home/user/.emacs
