The only problem we have is with the mouse buttons.
The mouse tracks fine, but the mouse has to be moved after
the button press and the button release for X to detect the
button changes.
I suspect the problem is that you have a serial port with a 16550A UART,
and the FIFO is causing this problem. (although if that's it, the
button press should *eventually* register if you wait a second or two).
To fix this, grab the setserial program on tsx-11, in
/pub/linux/sources/sbin/setserial.tar.Z, and try doing a running (as
root) "setserial /dev/ttys0 uart 16450". That may very well fix your
problem.
This should eventually be done automatically by the X server, but until
then, if this fixes the problem, you can just put it in your /etc/rc.
