Get and set mouse pointer position on a text console

[Nick Roberts <nickrob@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have written (and committed) code that allows Emacs to communicate with Gpm
(a mouse server for a console) through a Unix socket.

I still need to read and set the position of the mouse pointer.  There is a
library call, Gpm_GetSnapshot, to read it in Gpm, but I can't get it to work in
with Emacs.  To display the pointer position, I have used the console ioctl and
the selection buffer (TIOCLINUX, subcode=3).  Does anyone know if there other
ioctls that can read and set the position of the mouse pointer?  Is there any
other way of doing this?

TIA,

Nick                                           http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
