I just logged in as myself, a regular, non-priviledged user. I discovered that mouse support works the same for me in Console mode whether I am root or not. Translation: at least on my system, for some reason Console mouse support works perfectly in Midnight Commander when I am logged in as a regular user. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
