Subject: [PATCH v2 0/6] vt: Add SRG mouse reporting features
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2020 17:11:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1593615440.git.tammo.block@gmail.com> (raw)
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
