It can support several devices at the same time. If you are running on two different machines there is no problem. On the same machine however, GPM selection acts like X selection, i.e. if you select something in terminal 1 and then later in terminal 2, the selection in terminal 1 is removed. AFAIK, there can only be one GPM process per machine (per mouse really). > > 2) If the answer to the previous question is NO, then should we add > the mouse-highlight related variables to struct tty_display_info on > Unix as well? > Sounds like the right thing to do to me.
