When starting green in Framebuffer console you might see an error regarding the mouse. If you don't need mouse in the console:
SDL_NOMOUSE=1 ./green
Should work around the problem. Other wise you should be able to use the mouse in the Framebuffer as none root user. On Debian based distributions:
Create new file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-input.rules:
# file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-input.rules
KERNEL=="mice", NAME="input/%k", MODE="664", GROUP="input"
KERNEL=="mouse*", NAME="input/%k", MODE="664", GROUP="input"
Then issue:
groupadd input
usermod -a -G input [your_username]
Restart your computer and you should be able to use the mouse with SDL.
$(HOME)/.green.conf
Per user configuration file.
