Actually, the mouse does the same thing on my system, then stops
responding altogether... I have yet to get the mouse to work. The mouse
protocol is set with environment variables (they don't work yet with ELKS, I have
a patch coming) or a recompile of mwin/src/drivers/mou_ser.c.

No, microwin has support for EGA and VGA only currently, in
4 planes mode, not packed pixels.

Actually signals don't work well yet. Try ^C in a variety of programs,
and you'll find yourself logged out with the original still running, etc.
