system freeze with IBM R40 laptop

[Hudson Delbert J Contr 61 CS/SCBN]

i have a ibm thinkpad 600x. i has not had the problem listed below 
regarding the r40, it refuses to let me use the serial mouse (microsoft)

i've tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 but i dont know thw correct
combo of
items to tel dpkg to use. any ideas from anybody.

at wits end with this though ubuntu seems rock-solid so far.

need this functionality and can find it easier in plan9 and solaris x86
which
i do not consider to be the equal of ubuntu is ease of install for devices
they handle
mice configs a lot better unless someone has a fix thats makes a liar out of
me
(i'd like that very much cuz i really like ubuntu though i think i've broken
the isolation of `root`. will let all know more when i'm done.

mo' later - news at 11.
