3. Before Running XFree86

The SCO xterm terminfo description is not compatible with the xterm in the R5 distribution.

To use a Bus/Keyboard or PS2 mouse you should configure the mouse drivers using 'mkdev mouse'. You may then use the OsMouse option in your XF86Config to specify that XFree86 should use the SCO mouse drivers. To do this, set the Protocol to "OsMouse" in the Pointer section of your XF86Config file. You can also use "OsMouse" for your serial mouse, especially if you are having trouble getting your mouse to work using the XFree86 mouse drivers.
