I couldn't get it to work in a Linux console and I can't see how it could work outside the context of X (xt-mouse knows nothing about gpm). The original author (Per Abrahamsen) says: ;; The xterm mouse escape codes are supposedly also supported by the ;; Linux console, but I have not been able to verify this. However, I have updated t-mouse.el for Emacs 22, which does work in a Linux console. If anyone is in touch with Ian T Zimmermann and can persuade him to sign papers, then this file can be included in the Emacs distribution. Nick
