Are you sure that this is correct, and that /dev/com0 exists?

   The server or the kernel don't crash . The server just 'hangs' , it
   seems that the process is waiting for an envent.

I suspect it's stuck waiting for a mouse event.

I still have the original distribution of XFree86 1.1 installed, and
it works with my Logitech mouse and ET4000 card.  It's a bit slow, but
I don't use it anyway.
