Executor-SVGA (Linux) mouse problem



I'm sorry if this has already been asked. I'm a new subscriber to this 
list and I'm stuck with a problem.

I tried the SVGALIB Linux 1.99p a.out version (executor-svga) but it 
seems the mouse is not working. This happens in both of my Linux boxes.
They are both all a.out systems.

One of them has an 1.2.13 kernel (yes, I applied the 
ardi_kernel_1.2.13.patch) with a Logitech busmouse on IRQ2 (=IRQ9).
When I run executor-svga the mouse pointer flashes, jumping around the 
upper left corner of the screen. Fundamentally it doesn't move from the 
upper left corner and I'm even unable to open the executor File menu.

The other box has an 1.2.10 kernel without ardi_kernel_1.2.13.patch 
applied and the mouse pointer doesn't move at all from the upper left 
corner of the executor screen.
I forgot to mention that executor (X11 version) runs fine, i.e. the mouse 
is OK, in both systems.

As a final note I'd like to ask if any other site is available, apart 
from vorlon.mit.edu which seems to be down, which is carrying the 
latest version. When it was up I saw it has an 1.99p6 version. The other 
sites, including ftp.ardi.com, seem to be at level 1.99p only. Is it 
worth downloading this absolutely latest version?

Let me conclude with the list of libraries of my 1.2.13 system, just in 
case it's useful for tracking my problem down:
