>Environment:

	2.2-STABLE, but probably the same for 3.0-CURRENT

>Description:

	If I set moused_type=something in /etc/rc.conf I would expect
	I can use my mouse on the console for cut&paste. But as
	the command "vidcontrol -m on" is never executed I don't see
	anything. I have to put "vidcontrol -m on" in /etc/rc.local or
	some other file to see the mouse pointer.

	The newly added rc.conf manpage claims, that moused_type is
	support for cut&paste on the console. What can I do with
	moused when I have "vidcontrol -m off"? :)

>How-To-Repeat:

	Set moused_type=your_type_of_mouse in /etc/rc.conf and reboot
	the system and realize that there is no mouse pointer on the console.

>Fix:

	Change /etc/rc.i386 so that when moused is started also
	"vidcontrol -m on" is executed.

You're hardly the first to complain about this, so I guess 
it's time somebody did something about it.  Fixed. :)
