sysmouse/tty weirdness

it just got weirder...  for SOME reason if i start it while X has the 
focus (X also using sysmouse, mouse works there, although without 
scroll wheel), it will display correct output.  running a hd 
/dev/sysmouse will also nicely print along.  Note that this works when 
running from xterm as well when running via ssh.
Turns out the problem was two-folded:
1. sysmouse sets improper termio flags so that /dev/sysmouse is "ready 
to use"
2. xorg 6.9 missed DragonFly in one #ifdef, leading to a sysmouse level 
0 (the default)

"fix" for 1 was committed by me, fix for 2 was committed by joerg to 
pkgsrc.

thanks to all investigators!

cheers
