Dear Tobias,
1. What exactly do you mean when you say that CWSDPMI sucks.
2. There is an DPMI server called PMODE/DJ wich can be bound 
to the EXE. Please read the FAQ for more details.

May be there is some fault in your code.  Installing mouse interrupt 
handlers under DPMI is tricky(ie DATA and CODE touched by the 
handler have to be locked ...etc).
The ALLEGRO game library <www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro> for 
DJGPP wich also includes the source code has detailed example's 
of installing mouse handlers and hardware and software interrupt 
handlers.
So you might try examining the source for Allegro's routines and 
yours and see what is wrong.

BTW you may try using allegro's mouse routines wich  support 
SVGA resolutions as well. I use Allegro for my game programs 
because I can spend time writing game code rather than 
reinventing the wheel (ie writing code for the SB, Mouse etc).

Hope this helps
