25 ;;; Commentary:
27 ;; This package provides access to mouse event as reported by the gpm-Linux
28 ;; package. It tries to reproduce the functionality offered by Emacs under X.
29 ;; The "gpm" server runs under Linux, so this package is rather
30 ;; Linux-dependent.
32 ;; The file, t-mouse.el was originally written by Alessandro Rubini and Ian T
33 ;; Zimmerman, and Emacs communicated with gpm through a client program called
34 ;; mev. Now the interface with gpm is directly through a Unix socket, so this
35 ;; file is reduced to a single minor mode macro call.
37 ;;
39 ;;; Code:
41 ;; Prevent warning when compiling in an Emacs without gpm support.
