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.
