Console does not handle mouse input
Mouse handling used to be implemented in Gcons. When running on a text-only framebuffer, mouse was not handled and was no visible mouse pointer.
Along with the introduction of GUI (compositor), graphical console support was removed. Recently support for graphical console was restored (albeit without the frills) by adding a graphical back-end to the output server. Mouse still cannot be used in console either in text mode or graphics mode.
Mouse input would be useful in console for controlling UI applications running in console mode (especially since they cannot be controlled using the keyboard, yet).
