Dan, many thanks
I wish src.conf(5) man page were more descriptive on this option.
At present it only contains:
WITHOUT_LEGACY_CONSOLE
Set to not build programs that support a legacy PC console; e.g.
kbdcontrol(8) and vidcontrol(8).
so I though it doesn't affect moused.
Maybe I should post to @doc about this..
thank you again
anton
