This is probably due to a new mouse driver in SunOS 4.1, but I
want to find out the ramifications.  I just built X11R4.18 on a
SPARC IPC with SunOS 4.1, and the mouse cursor wraps around left-right.
(If I keep mousing to the right when the cursor's at the RHS, the
cursor goes off the edge and shortly reappears on the left.)

Doesn't wrap around top-bottom.  On the Sun 3-160 under SunOS 4.0.3,
it doesn't wrap in either direction.

I am curious to know what coordinates the mouse is returning during
the time it's off the screen... (there's an interval of about 3/4
screen width of movement before it reappears).
