Subject:   XFree86 dying with font error

Short version(long version follows):

I get X up and running once or twice, then from there on out,
startx gives me an error like this:
<SNIP>
(--) SVGA: XAA: General lines and segments
(--) SVGA: XAA: Dashed lines and segments

waiting for X server to shut down FreeFontPath: FPE 
"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled" refcount is 2, 
should be 1; fixing.

X refuses to start again, pumping out this same error message.
This is using XF86_SVGA with a Matrox Mystique(Why won't
XF98_MGA work with this card, btw?) on a Pentium 2.2.6 system.

Any help would be appreciated
