AFAIK the SVGA clash issue involves COM4:'s IO address, although as COM4: shares IRQ3 with COM2:, you may get some spill-over... >My solution was to strap my ISA serial card/modem as com1 and use >the built in VESA combo card com2 for the mouse. Me2; the beauty of mouse on COM2: is that you can add an internal modem on COM3:, or an external on COM1:, and not have to worry about IRQ clashes with the mouse, IO port clashes with S3 or misbehaviour due to a "missing" COM3: ;-)
