 	Where are you doing vidcontrol -m on?  I just did that and it only
enabled the mouse on one VT.  If you put it in .login (if you use csh) then
it will enable you to use the mouse on each VT you log into.  
	I don't have an rc.syscons, but I am running a 3.x version.  On mine I
have the moused enabled in rc.conf.  The moused will run in the background,
but vidcontrol is what lets you see it on the terminal.
