说明
gpm (General Purpose Mouse) provides mouse support for the Linux virtual console (text mode). It enables copy/paste functionality, mouse cursor movement, and mouse button events in console applications. Text selection is done by holding the left button and dragging. Middle button pastes selected text. Right button extends selection. This provides clipboard functionality similar to X11 in pure text mode. In repeater mode (-R), gpm can pass mouse events to X server, allowing both console and X applications to share the mouse device.
