Subject:   Machine reboots every time I try to configure XFree86

Hi,
I'm running FreeBSD 4.5-PRERELEASE (cvsuped from source this morning).
Every time I try to run XFree86 -configure my machine reboots.  I get
the same behavior if I write a config file and place it in
/etc/X11/XF86Config.  Pretty much any time I try to do anything with
X the machine reboots.  I have an Athlon 1.2 GHz with 1.5 GB of RAM and
my video card is an AGP Matrox G450 with 32 MB of RAM.  The machine is a
Compaq.  I've loaded the agp module at boot time by adding
agp_enable="YES" to my /boot/loader.conf and manually created the
agpgart device using sh MAKEDEV agpgart.  I see no message to my screen
after I try to run startx, XFree86 -configure, etc., but when the
machine reboots I do see this in dmesg:

kernel trap 9 with interrupts disabled
Fatal trap 9: general protection fault while in kernel mode
instruction pointer     = 0x8:0xc02a351b
stack pointer           = 0x10:0xec887cf0

processor eflags        = resume, IOPL = 3
current process         = 152 (XFree86)

Uptime: 2m36s
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason
