Subject:   starting up usb mouse with vidcontrol
Message-ID:  <200207081242.FAA07451@eskimo.com>

I just installed 4.6 on a system with a USB mouse, and one thing that
was a bit confusing is that while usbd is starting moused in its
'attach' script, it is not starting vidcontrol.

In fact, the only easy way I see to get both moused started right and
to get vidcontrol going is to have moused_enable='YES' in rc.conf which
results in an annoying error message during rc.syscons, because /dev/ums0
is in use, but does still start up vidcontrol -m on, making the pointer
appear.

I don't think there was this business before.  Is vidcontrol's mouse
stuff new?  Did it used to get activated differently, or in a different
order (like rc.syscons used to come before running usbd)?
