Links2 in tty

I found it myself in search of a solution, so perhaps someone else will too.

So an update: I found that under 12.04 two things helped get links2 -g working in framebuffer right after installing links2:

installing gpm (not sure if #2 would have worked already on its own - I installed gpm before)

sudo dpkg-statoverride --update --add root root 4755 /usr/bin/links2
