Kevin - oops, I think the first time I tried your above suggestion I 
accidentally commented out "Configured Mouse" - hence the immediate 
error and no attempt to start X.  But now I am sure I've commented it 
out as you have above, and I am back to the original error  - screen 
goes black, then there is kind of a flash and I'm back out to the 
prompt with the same error: Fatal server error:  Caught signal 11. 
Server aborting.  And the the same XIO: fatal IO error 104...

Not to be a major wimp and give up, but should I just install sarge 
from scratch, rather than trying to upgrade woody?  Or maybe this 
problem would still occur.  I really hadn't done much to my woody 
setup so I don't see what I'd lose.
