I do it same way, I have one FB and 2 different functions that copy FB to VRAM. You can also little speed up bank switch if you use far call of window function instead calling int10h (if PM vbios support it).

It behaves strange.
Only the wheel do nothing but when I press left button and wheeling it scrolls diagonally (down+right or up+left). I also found that buttons for next/prev. image and also pgup/down, home/end keys doesn't work. Key-scrolling works OK.

I tested under MSDOS 7.1 and MSDOS 6.22 with CuteMouse v2.1 beta4 [FreeDOS], ps/2 KB and ps/2 intelli mouse explorer 3.0A, on FAT16 disk, browsing a directory with camera images:

As I told Arachne and few other wheel-enabled apps works for me.
