AFAIR his mouse behaviour under S3 is different from irq conflict...
With IRQ conflict cursor just freezes there, and it seems his cursor is
gone conpletely, and only when mouse is moved, it appeares.
Probably something with the hardware?
I have an S3 Virge/DX with 4M, works beautifully.
ALso, just to make sure, try switching irqs with setserial for the Com1.
If it's IRQ conflict, it will help.
