I have a solution:
Under curses there is a command mousemask that is used to turn on the mouse. It has a choice "ALL_MOUSE_EVENTS" and another "REPORT_MOUSE_POSITION". Under the Debian system the first choice does both. Under Ubuntu when I chose both (ALL_MOUSE_EVENTS | REPORT_MOUSE_POSTION) the mouse position was captured.
