Hmmm.  When I boot the Windows 98 OS instead that is in my disk image,
the mouse works but it is not very "smooth".

Things like, the mouse cursor jumps from the bottom to the top of the
screen when I move the mouse up.  Then moving it left-to-right and
right-to-left, the mouse jumps about 50 pixels left-to-right and
right-to-left.  And the cursor gets stuck in these two horizontal
positions.  Oh yeah, the cursor is also stuck at the top of the screen
at this point.

So, it looks like I'll need to look at the mouse code in qemu.  And I
know that there was a lot of minor fiddling around in that area a few
months ago...

Thanks,
Gervase.
