Hello! The latest libgpm (1.20.1rc1) doesn't work by me anywhere except for xterm. I have already wriiten about the problems with Eterm. The same garbage error messages appear also when working in a linux VC with mouse-enabled programs like mc or GNU Emacs. There is a check (done when TERM is not "xterm") that compares some string with "/dev/console", which always fails (the terminal you work with will never be /dev/console in most systems, except when yopu are in single mode or alike). Steps To Reproduce: login into a linux VC, start mc, try to do smth with the mouse. It doesn't react upon mouse actions. The same thing in GNU Emacs started in a VC (then it uses the gpm-supplied lisp code). There, you are able to see the error messages printed by libgpm (in '*Messages*' buffer): they very similar to those printed in Eterm+mc (my previous reported bug).
