Enable mouse in terminal

[ThaddeusW]

Hello everyone,

I want to enable the mouse in the system terminal on my Ubuntu server. I don't have X installed and want to use it in The Midnight Commander.

General Purpose Mouse interface
This package provides a daemon that captures mouse events when the system
console is active, and delivers events to applications through a library.

By default, the daemon provides a 'selection' mode, so that
cut-and-paste with the mouse works on the console just as it does
under X.

sudo apt-get install gpm

Hope that helps.
