If some one could help me with a little problem it would be appreciated.

I am running FreeBSD 1.5.1.1-Release with Xfree86 2.1.  The kernel has be 
compiled to suit my system and seems to be working okay.

My problem is that whenever I try to runXfree, it crashes.  The grey background
appears than the system returns to the prompt.

For some reason, desktop manager is core-dumping.  I've tried olvwm, fvwm and 
twm all with the same result.  If I change back to my 1.5(gamma) kernel every
thing works okay.

My System is a 486DX/33, 8Mb ram and Tseng Labs ET4000 ISA card.

All help is appreciated.
