I was doing the same thing some time ago. IMHO, OpenBSD implementation
is misusing wscons events for control commands. Commands to turn wsmoused
on/off are not events since they are not generated by a mouse device.
So I changed them to WSDISPLAYIO_WSMOUSED_O{N|FF}. Along with this,
I wrote wsmoused from scratch. The OpenBSD version is unnecessarily
complicated and has a bunch of obsolete stuff for NetBSD.

I hope it will be completed and released some time soon after I
have finished work on framebuf and uwscons.

I remember quite a number of people have wanted this feature so
far. Can I look at your patch?

I heavily depend on use of printf() ;-)
