re: 755ce serial port

I'd say first make sure the serial port works, so you know if
it's an X server problem.  The obvious method is with a breakout
box, or by plugging in another computer via null modem and running
kermit under linux.  There's also a serial port test in the
bios that you can select at powerup time.
