 From your answer I understand that you are recompiling Keyboard unit 
with -dNOMOUSE, which is pointless. I wrote (maybe it was not clear 
enough, sorry) that you should recompile _Mouse_ unit (not Keyboard unit).

If this is not the case and you're doing as I said (recompiling Mouse 
unit), you should make sure that you're really linking your program with 
the newly compiled Mouse unit. E.g. you can check this by adding a small 
Writeln('something...') to initialization section of Mouse unit or by 
compiling with -vu.

If you're 100% sure that you're compiling your program with Mouse unit 
that does not require Gpm unit than it means that some other unit uses 
Gpm unit (I assume here that there is no other unit that links to libgpm 
library directly, without using Gpm unit). There is not such unit in FPC 
1.0.10 RTL, but that doesn't mean anything... So in this case you should 
use Peter Vreman's advice and recompile program with -vu to see what 
other unit uses Gpm unit.
