Make sure you are using the latest com.c driver (with select()
bug fixed).  But even then there is some problem with the mouse
code in X386 as the very first button press is not seen until
after you either release the button or move the mouse a bit.

If you wish to track this problem down, check out file
$X11R5/mit/server/ddx/x386/x386Io.c.  Routine x386MseEvents()
seems to be the culprit.
