Description

Text console sessions can gain mouse pointer support for selecting, copying, and pasting text. It is useful on systems where users work outside a graphical desktop but still want pointer-based console interaction.

Console pointer services affect input handling on local virtual terminals. Test with the target keyboard and pointer setup before enabling broadly.
