Just wondering... could I be getting a Signal 11 error at startx because I
am using a PS/2 mouse instead of a serial mouse?  I'd like to answer this
myself by trying a serial mouse, but can't seem to get it detected... (fun
for me... being over my head...).

I'm sending this out to all who might listen...

Hello, I'm trying to install a serial mouse on my computer. The current
configuration uses a PS/2 mouse and is working just fine, except under
Linux, I want to try a serial mouse but I'm missing something.
K6-266
M-Technology M-549 mainboard
Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG
   in the BIOS Features Setup there is a "PS/2 Mouse Function Control"
setting which must
be  : Enabled in order to use the PS/2 mouse. I've changed the setting to  :
Disabled, disconnected the PS/2 mouse, plugged in the serial mouse (which
works on my P-90...) and neither Windows 95 or Linux will detect it. There
is a switch on the bottom of the serial mouse (MS or PC) I don't know its'
function. I've played with some BIOS settings to try to get the serial mouse
to work, but I need your help.
