Description Vivek Khera 2000-09-28 19:20:00 UTC 
	

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.

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.
How-To-Repeat: 
	

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