I think you're running into problem because you're piggybacking GPM
support on top of the tty console. The console init code is not designed
with a run-time variable feature set in mind. I think GPM-enabled ttys
should be a separate console type.
*shudder* I don't wanna write it. :) Since there is no way to set the GPM
mouse position, and the getting of it is very unreliable, I'm probably just
going to punt on setting those methods anyway.
