This computer does not work with Com1 serial mouse in DOS or linux.
(I have not tried the mouse elsewhere, or a different serial mouse.  This 
one worked on the previous computer, which died.  DOS says it cannot find 
the mouse here.)

PS/2 trackball and genuine Microsoft 2-button mouse both work in BL3. 
They do not work in BL2.  No error messages but the pointer simply does 
not move.  DOS drmouse and MS mouse.com work.

gpm -t ps2 does not work in BL2 and after I load it (even if I kill that 
process afterwards) zgv and Xvesa do not work.  Illegal instruction.

What might I try changing in BL2 to get the PS/2 mouse to work?  Yes I 
have changed libvga.config from Microsoft to PS/2.

In BL3 Xvesa without any other switches produces a screen with working 
mouse pointer.  In BL2 it does not move.

This computer had 6 bad caps replaced.  The serial port is the first 
hardware problem I have encounted with it.

I need a mouse to test Shockwave Flash in BL2.
