you're the nth person to say so, so it is done gpm is needed when compiling links with framebuffer support. The
configure script will only allow the framebuffer graphics driver
to be built if all of the following header files are present:
/usr/include/linux/fb.h
/usr/include/linux/kd.h
/usr/include/linux/vt.h
/usr/include/sys/mman.h
/usr/include/sys/ioctl.h
/usr/include/gpm.h <-- this is provided by sys-apps/gpm
And of course the framebuffer source file itself needs the gpm.h
header file:
/* framebuffer.c
* Linux framebuffer code
* (c) 2002 Petr 'Brain' Kulhavy
* This file is a part of the Links program, released under GPL.
*/
#include "cfg.h"
#ifdef GRDRV_FB
#define USE_GPM_DX
/* #define FB_DEBUG */
/* #define SC_DEBUG */
#if defined(FB_DEBUG) || defined(SC_DEBUG)
#define MESSAGE(a) fprintf(stderr,"%s",a);
#endif
#ifdef TEXT
#undef TEXT
#endif
#include "links.h"
#include <gpm.h> <-- once again there's that gpm.h
.....
gpm has been re-added as a dependency of fbcon.

The following line in the links ebuild (both links-2.1_pre9 and links-2.1_pre11): fbcon? ( >=media-libs/libpng-1.2.1 sys-libs/gpm ) seems to indicate that gpm is required when the framebuffer is used, but this is not so. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
