The old virtual terminal (pcvt) does not use the ttyE<n> ttys, but
rather ttyv<n>, where <n> is the number of the virtual console,
ranging from 0 to (number of consoles) - 1.
The ttyE<n> ttys are for wscons, which is the preferred virtual
console driver these days. You probably only want to use pcvt, if
wscons don't work on your system.

Use the newer pms* drivers for PS/2 mice, not opms* ("o" as in "old").
