Description Victor Gaydov 2009-09-06 18:46:38 UTC

hello!

in undone patches of gpm there is one that makes gpm working inside Screen session.
i'm using screen and gpm a lot so i adopted that patch for
sys-libs/gpm 1.20.1-r6 and 1.20.6 and also add one or two fixes.
i've test it with mc, vim, and others.

for now it'll work properly if you export TTY environment variable
in caller program and set it to `tty`.
(for example add export TTY=`tty` to .bashrc)

ps. add :set ttymouse="" to .vimrc to help vim determine screen pty properly

please send this patch to the upstream authors.  i'm not really qualified to verify the correctness of this patch.

it's simple to post to them:
