<title>Getting gpm</title>
<section>
<body>
<p>
If you've just installed Gentoo, you almost certainly don't have your mouse
set up to work within a command line interface (CLI) yet. Or perhaps you
can't use or don't need an X server, yet you still need to use a mouse. The
solution is simple: <c>gpm</c>, the General Purpose Mouse server.
</p>
<p>
First, you will need to get gpm:
</p>
<pre caption="Obtaining gpm">
# <i>emerge gpm</i>
</pre>
<p>
You might have noticed a few messages during the compilation that warned
about configuring the server. You must do this before starting gpm.
</p>
</body>
</section>
</chapter>
<chapter>
<title>Configuring gpm</title>
<section>
<body>
<p>
Before you can use gpm, you will need to uncomment the lines
corresponding to the location and protocol of your mouse. You do this by
editing the gpm configuration file:
</p>
<pre caption="Setting up gpm">
# <i>nano /etc/conf.d/gpm</i>
</pre>
<p>
In my case, I have a USB mouse on <path>/dev/input/mouse0</path>. So, I
have uncommented <path>/dev/input/mice</path>, as this is the cumulative
device for all mice on the system, and the appropriate protocol.
Try using <path>/dev/input/mice</path> before <path>/dev/psaux</path>, as
the latter is deprecated and can be disabled in the latest 2.6 kernels. If
<path>/dev/input/mice</path> fails, then fall back to other devices. Here is
my example <path>/etc/conf.d/gpm</path>:
</p>
<pre caption="Example gpm config">
<comment># Please uncomment the type of mouse you have and the appropriate MOUSEDEV entry</comment>
#MOUSE=ps2
MOUSE=imps2
#MOUSEDEV=/dev/psaux
MOUSEDEV=/dev/input/mice
</pre>
<p>
If you have a wheelmouse, you will want to use the imps2 protocol, so
uncomment that line. If imps2 and ps2 both fail to work for you, please
refer to the gpm info page (<c>info gpm</c>) for other protocols to try.
Also, if you want to be able to click on hyperlinks in terminals to
navigate to a website, it is a good idea to follow the suggestion in the
<c>/etc/conf.d/gpm</c> file:
</p>
<pre caption="Other options">
<comment># Please uncomment this line if you want gpm to understand charsets</comment>
<comment># used in URLs and names with ~ or : in them, etc.</comment>
<comment># This is a good idea to turn on!</comment>
APPEND="-l \"a-zA-Z0-9_.:~/\300-\326\330-\366\370-\377\""
</pre>
<p>
The rest of the conf.d file contains other suggestions for your mouse server;
uncomment the various options according to your needs. See <c>man gpm</c>
for more information.
</p>
</body>
</section>
</chapter>
<chapter>
<title>Running gpm</title>
<section>
<body>
<p>
Now that your mouse server is installed and configured, it's time to start
using it:
</p>
<pre caption="The gpm init script">
# <i>/etc/init.d/gpm start</i>
</pre>
<p>
You should see a block cursor appear. Remember that only root can run the gpm
init script. However, to avoid having to <c>su</c> and run the script every
single time you begin a new session, why not set gpm to begin every time you
turn on your computer?
</p>
<pre caption="Adding gpm to the default runlevel">
# <i>rc-update add gpm default</i>
</pre>
<p>
Now, whenever you start your computer, you'll be greeted by the console cursor
by the time you get to the login prompt. The mouse server will continue to run
even if you're not logged in as root.

Copying and pasting large blocks of text with a working mouse server is very
easy. Simply highlight the text with the left mouse button (it will stay
highlighted when you release the button), switch to a different terminal if you
wish, position the cursor, and press the middle mouse button to paste the text
where you placed the cursor. Note that you can copy and paste without ever
leaving the terminal you started. This makes posting the output of error
messages to the <uri link="http://forums.gentoo.org">Gentoo forums</uri>
extremely simple.

If you have a message on one screen and a text-mode web browser on the other,
you can copy the error message by highlighting it, then change to the other
terminal, left-click the appropriate text entry box to select it, and then press
the middle mouse button. Voila! Your error message can now be posted to the
forums.

Though discussion of text-only browsers is somewhat beyond the scope of this
guide, inevitably users will need to find a compatible console browser. Though
<c>lynx</c> is most likely the oldest and well established browser, its
interface has poor mouse support and recognition. Instead, try using
<c>links</c>, the same browser which is also included in the Gentoo Installation
CDs. <c>links</c> has excellent mouse integration:

This concludes the guide to using a mouse within the console. Happy mousing!
