Mouse under SDL in framebuffer mode

Hello,

I tried some sdl programs in framebuffer mode. The programs work (video output, keyboard). But the mouse don’t work. There is a mouse pointer but it don’t move. How can I enable the mouse under sdl in framebuffer mode?

Best regards

Bernd

Check to make sure you have access to the mouse device. If all else fails,
run gpm in repeater mode (-R command line option) and SDL should be able to
use that.

Are there environment variables to select a serial or a PS/2 Mouse for
framebuffer mode? Where can I find a documentation about the environment
variable used by the SDL?
