Btw, did you tell us, which version you're using? I cannot find "pms*
at vt" in either 1.4.2 nor -current config files.

Do not try to use parts of vt together with parts of wscons. Use
_only_ wscons.


Try somethins like:

# ISA console.  You can only configure one of these!
#pc0    at isa? port 0x60 irq 1         # pccons generic PC console driver
#vt0     at isa? port 0x60 irq 1         # PCVT console driver

[...]

# wscons
pckbc0  at isa?                 # pc keyboard controller
pckbd* at pckbc?               # PC keyboard
# "opms" should not be enabled together with "pms" or "pmsi"
pms*            at pckbc?               # PS/2 mouse for wsmouse
#pmsi*          at pckbc?       # PS/2 "Intelli"mouse for wsmouse
#opms*          at pckbc?               # backwards compatible PS/2 mouse
#vga0           at isa?
vga*           at pci?
#pcdisplay0     at isa?                 # CGA, MDA, EGA, HGA
wsdisplay*     at vga? console ?
#wsdisplay*     at pcdisplay? console ?
wskbd* at pckbd? console ?
wsmouse*        at pms?
#wsmouse*       at pmsi?

(Assuming the display is PCI, otherwise use the corresponding ISA
counterparts)

And also look at the other WSCONS options, especially enable
WSEMUL_V100 and the WS_COMPAT_* options.

What do you mean "both vt's"? Since these consoles are virtual anyway,
there can be many, not only two.

wscons provides virtual consoles. You do not need vt for this.


If you feel you absolutely need pcvt, and do not want to use wscons
instead, try this:

# ISA console.  You can only configure one of these!
#pc0    at isa? port 0x60 irq 1         # pccons generic PC console driver
vt0    at isa? port 0x60 irq 1         # PCVT console driver
[...]
# wscons                    
#pckbc0          at isa?                 # pc keyboard controller
#pckbd*          at pckbc?               # PC keyboard
[...]
opms0            at vt? irq 12            # PS/2 auxiliary port mouse

According to the opms man pages, opms also uses the /dev/pms0 device
node. for X11, use that and use the "busmouse" protocol in the Xserver
configuration.
