Hello,

I tried the mouse unit under linux.
I can poll all mouse events, but the mouse isn't shown on the screen. Also the command "ShowMouse" doesn't seem to do anything.

Is this a known bug?
What can I do?

P.S.: I didn't want to use the unit GPM directly, because I want to port the program to Windows later.

The mouse cursor vanishes with InitMouse and appears again with DoneMouse.

I use fpc 1.0.4 and gpm 1.17.8 on a Debian potatoe.

P.S.: I didn't want to use the unit GPM directly, because I want to port the program to Windows later.
