I experimented this; I did vidcontrol -m on in a virtual terminal, then from within the same terminal, I started X. The X server switches to an unused virtual terminal (this is the way it works) and my mouse works fine there. I switch back to the virtual terminal on which I run vidcontrol, the terminal shows some lines from the X server AND the mouse cursor. I can move the mouse cursor and mark region in the screen with no problem. I even did `vidcontrol -m on' in yet another virtual terminal, and it works. No conflicts. My understanding is that the sysmouse driver, which is actually a part of the syscons driver, feed mouse data only to the foreground virtual terminal. So, there should be no conflict, whether `vidcontrol -m on' in any of the virtual terminals or not. I may be wrong and I may be just fortunate enough not to have trouble with moused...
