	I think it should be default behavior in case of "-m" option
	There is no sense to enable moused only on ttyv0.

	Here is a small patch for /etc/rc.i386

  if [ "X${moused_enable}" = X"YES" ] ; then
  	echo -n ' moused'
  	moused ${moused_flags} -p ${moused_port} -t ${moused_type}
! 	vidcontrol <${viddev} -m on
  fi
  echo '.'
