## 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.
