Nope, that's not how it works - you tell it what method and it
automatically constructs the function name from the console type (tty) and
method name (set_mouse_position). I just cheat a little and set the method
slots directly.
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.
