Mice protocols should _not_ be supported in the kernel. I don't expect gpm to be implemented by the kernel people at all. They ought to _remove_ selection stuff from TIOCLINUX instead, and gpm should become a user-space tool with no kernel support at all (in addition to /dev/vcs stuff, obviously). I don't think we must do that now, but _if_ something is going to change in the kernel, it will be _less_ gpm support, not more. That's my opinion, but I know I'm not alone. Also, the work by Ian Zimmermann is worth looking at, I think. I hadn't time to, unfortunately (and I haven't looked at a huge lot of other interesting stuff as well). /alessandro -- Alessandro Rubini, free software specialist.
