The mouse I had on the 3100 I booted before the release was a
`hockey-puck'. I _thought_ it worked.  Simon, if your mouse works on
an Ultrix box, can you try it on the 3100 again, with the DELAY(100)
ramped up to DELAY(150) or DELAY(200)?  Maybe the square mouse needs
a longer delay.

I have managed to reproduce this at last ):.  A 5000/150 consistently
starts xfs, xdm and X without any problems, as long as I don't do
ntpdate and start xntpd.  When I do those two, the first Xserver
hangs.  I'm guessing it's a race of some kind on /dev/console, or
possibly, just possibly, a bug in the select() emulation.

Uh, doesn't Ctrl-[ work?
