>Description:

	

If you specify either/both of SC_NO_FONT_LOADING and
VGA_NO_FONT_LOADING, the console mouse is silently disabled.  There
are no errors or warnings issued.

The man pages for vga and syscons do not indicate this side effect.


>How-To-Repeat:

	

Build a kernel with these options and run moused.  There is no console mouse.

>Fix:

	

add SC_ALT_MOUSE_IMAGE option to the kernel.  I think the syscons man
page should indicate that if you specify no font loading, you must
specify this option for moused and cut/paste to work on the console.
