xscreensavers rebooting the box

once I did kldunload nvidia  and removed agp_load="YES" from
/boot/loader.conf and rebooted, made a normal XF86Config, xscreensaver is
working. But, I still get mozilla locking up when I try to type in a URL.

And yes, I am making things per my make.conf which has:

CPUTYPE=p3
CFLAGS= -O -pipe

I also have :
options         USER_LDT
options         CPU_ENABLE_SSE

in the kernel.

I think I will try taking those out, as well as the make.conf  options,
rebuild my kernel and world and see if that helps?  Or, am I being
drastic?
