Subject:   XFree86-4.02 reboots computer after typing startx

I installed the XFree-4.02 meta-port last night and configured it for my
Diamond Viper 770 with the RIVATNT2.  When I type in startx, x briefly
shows some messages and then the computer reboots.  No core dumps or
error messages anywhere.

I looked through the list archives but couldn't find anything.  I
originally had an older version of X.  I remember from long ago that
perhaps the old X libraries had to be removed before a new X was to be
installed.  Is that true?  Right now I'm downloading the compiled
package and will try to install that.  

I use XFree-4.02 on my laptop with no problems and pretty Truetype
fonts, but it uses the Rage Mobility chipset.

Rob.
