Starting Mouse without Xwindows

longnam · 03-22-2005, 11:08 AM

Hi There,
Can anyone help me with this problem?, I want to configure my mouse so that it will start in the linux console command line without going into Xwindows. I don't have Xwindows setup on this box. I just want to have my mouse working so I can install some online games.
Any helps would be appreciated. !!
thanks so much

Look for gpm

Code:

apt-get install gpm

should do it in Debian.
