I think it's worth mentioning t-mouse. If the "Linux console" should
be called a "GNU/Linux console", I'll make that change also. I don't
want to debate it.

The console is actually a pure kernel feature and has nothing to do
with GNU but I remember disagreeing with Richard about the appropriate
wording in such a case before. Is this feature actually exclusive to
Linux? If not, I'd just write "text console" instead.

The change is basically a good idea except for two problems:
! @node Mouse Support in Text Terminals
That is too long for a node name. Please reduce it to two words.
Perhaps Text Mouse.
! In a Linux console, you can use @kbd{M-x t-mouse-mode}. This requires
! that the package gpm is installed on your system to provide a server.
That's a strained construction, so please use this:
In the console on GNU/Linux, you can use @kbd{M-x t-mouse-mode}.
You need to install the gpm package on your system in order for
this to work.

I've used Text-Only Mouse.

OK. I like this as it should keep everyone happy.
