is there any way to copy something from X and send it to gpm so can pasted to a terminal ???
im using KDE and klipper if any synchronization can be done....
Probably there are other ways, but if you want to get something from X and have it appear on a tty terminal, you could echo it.
like:
echo "this is a bunch of stuff" >/dev/tty1
which would make the line appear on tty1 (which you go to using CTRL-ALT-F1). Now you could copy and paste it from the terminal screen to the command prompt using the mouse buttons (though I still can't get straight the exact functions of the mouse buttons when in a tty) I think left-click copies and middle-click pastes..
If you want to copy and paste from something on the desktop, to a xterm window, plain old copy and paste should work.
Does this help? Or have I misunderstood the requirements you are looking for.
I haven't played with klipper, so if it *can* do what you want, I'm afraid I am not the person to tell you how but I hope you find a simpler functionality than I suggested -- and if you do, please post it!
