[SOLVED] `Vim/Gvim: set mouse=a works only in Gvim?

Question

I'm diving into the world of (g)vim this weekend and although I'm starting to get the hang of things, I seem to be having a problem with the mouse functionality.  I have set mouse=a specified in my .vimrc and gvim respects it, but when I run vi in a terminal session (urxvt) I have to explicitly type :set mouse=a in ex mode before it will work.  Am I missing something?
Here's what I've got in my .vimrc (linked also ~/.gvimrc) so far:
" (G)vim settings
set nocompatible " use gVim defaults
colorscheme wombat " define syntax color scheme
syntax on " enable syntax highlighting
set mouse=a " make sure mouse is used in all cases.
set backspace=2 " full backspacing capabilities
set nocindent " set C style indenting off
set cmdheight=2 " command line height
set ignorecase " ignore case in search patterns
set laststatus=2 " occasions to show status line, 2=always.
set ruler " ruler display in status line
set showmode " show mode at bottom of screen
set number " toggle line numbers
set nobackup " disable backup files (filename~)
set hlsearch " highlight all search results
set showmatch " show matching brackets (),{},[]
" Gvim Settings
set guioptions-=T " disable toolbar icons
set guifont=Consolas\ 8 " backslash any spaces
SOLVED: Silly me I was running 'vi' which has no X support... pacman -S vim fixed it fine.

Answer 1

I just had an issue with no sound after recent updates.  Not sure it's the same problem you are having. 
I found I had to open Audio Mixer, select Sound card: HDA Intel PCH (Alsa mixer), Select Controls, check box for Speaker and check box for Headphones.  After doing this I found the Speaker volume was set at minimum (although Master and PCM were already set at maximum).  Adjusted Speaker volume up and I finally had sound again.
