>Release: FreeBSD 2.2.7-STABLE i386
>Environment:
Any -STABLE i386 machine with moused enabled in rc.conf
>Description:
When moused is enabled in rc.conf, rc.i386 uses vidcontrol
to enable mouse support on console. Unfortunately, this
operation is only performed for ttyv0.
There is no reason for leaving mouse support disabled for
other virtual terminals when said terminals are offering
a console login.
It would make sense to enable mouse support on all virtual
terminals for which getty is offering a console login.
>How-To-Repeat:
N/A
>Fix:
The following patch teaches rc.i386 to enable mouse support
on any virtual terminal where getty is offering console
login.
