	I removed a working X11 system from my i386 2.0.2 system a while
	ago because of lack of decent display.  I just tried re-installing
	version 1.1 of Interactive's X11.  I installed the 6 disk clients
	system, the Servers I diskette, and the System diskette.  
	I configure it for a basic VGA with serial mouse.
	Now, everytime I try to run xinit, the screen clears to where it
	is supposed to put up the background pattern, then goes
	back to the first screen and gives this error:


Could not get X Line Discipline number: No such device or address

Fatal server error: X device open failed.

	And then dumps core.
	I have tried different combinations of mice (bus and serial),
	VGA card types (VEGA VGA, Paradise VGA) and no difference.
	Any ideas??
