[arch-general] only root can select/copy text using gpm

[Juan R. de Silva]

I installed and configured gpm daemon. The daemon starts and the mouse 
works fine, including copy-and-paste. But only in a console were I log as 
root. 

When I open another tty and login there as a normal user, the mouse 
cursor is available. I mean, it is visible and moves as desired. But I 
can neither select nor copy anything, since drugging does not work.

The whole point of installing gpm for me was to facilitate the use of 
Arch Wiki sources and instead of typing large pieces just copying and 
pasting them. Having this problem I would be forced to run 'links' in a 
root environment that does not seem very safe to me.

Is there any solution for this, please?
