|
|
I don't know if this is the right place to ask it.. but the console is also a 'desktop environment' am I right?
I want to use my mouse while I'm in the console (not Xtem).
Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks,
Patrick |

use mc
if your mouse is hooked up properly (recognized by your kernel and such)
then is should work |

Recognized by the kernel?
Isn't there any change to get the mouse working all over the console? (not just mc)
With RedHat I always had a working mouse in the console, very handy for copying and such
Any ideas?
