I am trying to install XFree86.  I followed the faqs and downloaded all the
necessary X312* files and installed them.  I ran xf86config and put in all
the necessary fields.  I think they are right because they worked when I 
installed X on Linux.  Now when I run startx the system reboots!  I 
redirected sterr to a file and don't see any blaring errors.

I'm running on a :

Compaq p60
40M ram
FreeBSD 2.0.5

Please help.  Send mail directly if possible.

Thanks in advance.
