The pointer doesn't show up in X terminals, but from the point of view of applications, they get mouse events etc. from libgpm just as if they were run on the linux console. > > Log how?

And I'm on the contrary sure that all these ways fall into two categories: - access to the physical console (/dev/tty[1-9]), in which case you already have access to it, type things, etc. - access via network (ssh, telnet), or serial (/dev/ttyS0, etc.) in which case you do not have access to the physical console. > If the ioctl is part of the tty subsystem It's only part of the VT subsystem.
