Greetingss, *BSD gurus...

I am running FreeBSD 1.0 (I think that's the version) on a 386dx 25mHz box
with 4 meg of RAM and a 329 meg hard drive.

In trying to get XFree86-2.0 to run, I discovered that the GENERIC-AH kernel
is not supporting my mouse.

To solve this, I downloaded the source and recompiled the kernel, including the
mouse support.

Now, I continually get spurious signals 10 and 11... eventually, they hang the 
machine; they tend to pop up when doing relatively large tasks, e.g. gcc or X.

Any clues?

Please post or email...


Many thanks.

Bob
