Description Sascha Silbe 2002-05-31 09:09:07 UTC
I have explicitly unset the gpm USE flag to disable gpm support:

hybrid anygui-0.1.1-r1 # grep gpm /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc 
gpm - Adds support for sys-libs/gpm (Console-based mouse driver)
hybrid anygui-0.1.1-r1 # grep gpm /etc/make.profile
hybrid anygui-0.1.1-r1 # grep gpm /etc/make.conf   
USE="3dnow acl -apm -arts -avi berkdb crypt -cups -encode gdbm -gif -gpm -gtk imlib ipv6 -java jpeg -kde libg++ libwww mikmod mmx -motif mpeg nas ncurses nls oggvorbis -opengl pam pdflib png python -qt -qtmt -quicktime readline -sdl slang spell sse ssl -svga -tcltk -tcpd tetex truetype X xml2 -xmms -xv"


w3m still gets compiled with gpm support, resulting in debug messages that completely destroy the screen layout.
The workaround from the other bugreport fortunately works.

Naz, I tested this with gpm-1.19 and gpm-1.20

gpm-1.19 seems to work with no problems at all
Comment 2 Sascha Silbe 2002-06-05 07:58:12 UTC
But since this machine has no console nor a mouse, I do not want any GPM support at all.
Unmerging gpm before merging w3m compiles it without GPM as wanted, so there's at least a workaround.
It's no real solution, though. If I explicitly specify "-gpm" in USE, I do not want it to be used, even if it is installed (for whatever reason).

Bumped up the revision number on w3m ebuild and it seems to honor the gpm use
variable fine on my machine at this point.. 

Thanx for the bug report

Works for me, too. Thanks!
