Recommendation
________________________________________________________________________
In order to enable a mouse or keyboard in screen you need to modify the graphics.conf file for screen and tell it that a mouse and or keyboard is desired.
The section that will need to be modified is the globals section of winmgr. A new entry titled 'input' will need to be added and uses the format:
# input = [all|<attach_string>|none]
# <attach_string> = <input_device> *
# <input_device> = [touch<index>|mouse<index>|keyboard<index>|control<index>]
# <index> = [0..15]
So in the case where a mouse and keyboard is desired the entry would look like this:
begin winmgr
begin globals
# This is a comment
...
...
input = mouse|keyboard
...
...
end globals
# Enable the cursor
begin display
# cursor = [sw-square|sw-arrow|hw-arrow|off]
# This directive indicates the shape of the cursor, if present. If cursor
# is set to sw-square or hw-square, a small square is drawn at the
# coordinates of the relative pointer device. The composition manager
# will use a hardware cursor if the value is set to hw-arrow. The default
# value is off.
cursor = sw-arrow
...
end display
end winmgr
