I don't know a driver that handles the svga graphics modes. In my 
experience, on Paradise and ET4000, the Logitek drivers will work 
correctly in svga text modes (132x25 etc) whereas the MS drivers will 
not. Recent Logitek drivers appear to work ok with MS mice. There is a 
Logitek driver available in the Simtel collection.
