gpm 1.19.6-23 (i386 binary) in ubuntu feisty

 This package provides a daemon that captures mouse events when the system
 console is active, and delivers events to applications through a library.
 .
 The default when no application is running is to emulate "selection", that
 is, to allow cut-and-paste with the mouse on the console the same way as
 it is done under X.
