problem seems to be solved - use a logitech mouse.

i tried 4 different types of serial mouse before finally getting
hold of a logitech mouse to try. all of them exhibit the same
problem (except the ones with a 2/3 button switch, which gave
an 'unknown mouse type' error when in 3 button mode)

the doc. doesn't seem to mention any possible compatibility probs
with non-logitech mice, and i know nothing about PC hardware;
has anyone out there got a non-logitech mouse to work (without
messing with the drivers) ?

sorry to bother you.

  cheers,
