The tty is in init3 of course, so no mouse there. I insist, mouse there. Start gpm. There is no prompt that says: EeePc-Rob-SFN9:/home/oddball #, just a dash at the start, at the place where 'E' from Eee-Pc is... When i have a prompt that looks normal, in another tty, and i enter 'gpm',

I am interested. But what i always encounter is that i have to to a hundred things before getting to do the thing i wanted. That is not bad, but however i know it, it still surprises me. And than the information gets overwhelming... and i kinda drown in it... I have to relax, and take week to sort it all out...

take a picture of the screen with your cell-phone and transcribe the information to a text file.

Well, there is output from 3 days, and the small part that is visible i read already. I am interested in what i did not read.

rcgpm start

Thank you, this gets me anywhere: Neither the variables MOUSEDEVICE and MOUSETYPE nor the variable GPM_PARAM is set in /etc/sysconfig/mouse Run 'yast mouse' to set up gpm I did.

systemctl start gpm.service /bin/systemctl start gpm.service and indeed: mouse showed up, nice! Thanx!

And now the terminal.text has captured the output of tty4, so i can read back what was going on... If you see this message then you have upgraded from an earlier version of Hugin and have no Control Point Detector configured. Please open the Preferences window and Load Defaults for the Control Point Detectors setting. This will enable the new built-in Control Point Detector and you won't see this message again. This seems to belong to a gui...

/etc/init.d/gpm start

man tee man gpm man init

google yahoo duckduckgo bang

did you also disable the touchpad in init3? no, i did not. Why do you ask if you performed the action to disable it in init5? because i did not often use a tty only, and many new things come my way... You did read what action you were performing? Did you try reversing that action to see if it affected init3? no not yet, i had my handsfull at that moment.. ;-)

ps: the system is *not* stupid but only able to do what *you* tell it to providing you tell it in a manner that it can understand.

I did not say the system is stupid, i said i was...

But someone can be stupid, but still be grateful when other people 'hint' him. So thanks for your patience, the right hints and your encouragement to continue. Mouse is present in tty, and stdout goes to a file i can find. For many people who know all this, it might be nothing, but for me it means a more useful tool. To be able to do something with a tool, encourages to learn more about it, and gain skills in using that tool. And it shows that learning never has to stop. Which is good. Today i am satisfied. More to learn tomorrow... :-D Kind Regards, -- Have a nice day, Oddball.
