What version of FreeBSD are you running? I had exactly the
same thing happen a while back, the mouse was on all ttyv's *except*
0. I have (and always have had) ``allscreens_flags="-m on 80x30"'' set.
I never looked into the cause, but it suddenly started working again
properly. Since I track -stable I assume that it was a bug that got
fixed so the problem went away after a make world. I can't be sure,
but that seems to be the most likely explanation.
