Hello. Please forgive the delay. Due to high work load I didn't even browse the list folder and didn't notice your message was pending for approval. > It's working fine this way, except for one thing: Every time my app > writes data to the console, the mouse pointer goes off (disappears), and > come back only if I move the mouse again.

The kernel just doesn't keep the mouse pointer up to date so as soon as there is console activity, it restores the original charcell before modidying the screen, and that's it. You can use GPM_DRAWPOINTER(), though (see gpm info pages), after you know you modified the screen. To do this you need to keep track of where the pointer is, obviouslty, but this is not a problem as you can get GPM_MOVE notified to the application. Please see the "Event Types" page in the info documentation for gpm. Hope this helps /alessandro -- Alessandro Rubini, free software specialist.
