Try using a different type of mouse and see if that helps.  I have also
recently seen problems with the Logitech Serial Mouse on SCO ODT.  I've
tried fiddling with the hardware (interrupts, etc.) to no avail.  My
personal opinion is that SCO's Logitech Mouse driver may be broken.

I have tried this on both an Intel 302 and a DEC 325 and had the same
results.

The Microsoft Bus Mice seem to work fine on ODT.  The Logitech mice
work great on ISC UNIX.
