| |
Hi everybody,
this patchset adds xterm like mouse reporting features to the console.
The linux virtual console has support for mouse reporting since 1994 or so, but the kernel only supports the original X10/X11 style standard protocols. To support more protocols these patches expand the kernel structures in a up- and downwards compatible way, see the last patch for detailed documentation and pointers to even more detailed docs.
The main goal is to become compatible with xterm, as most TUI software today is tested in xterm or another compatible terminal.
Support by the mouse daemons (consolation, gpm) will be needed too.
Kind regards, Tammo
Changes from v1: - Really fixed the style und spelling errors (Sorry Randy!) - Created defines and enums for better readability - Made variable to store last pressed button static and moved into mouse_report function
Changes from v0: - Fixed al the style the things mentioned by Jiri and Randy (thanks!) - Change datastructure for report (better compatibility) - Changed documentation in large parts accordingly - Added URXVT protocol
