Tulip conflict with X windows

I have a compatiblilty issue between the tulip driver and X windows.

When the tulip driver is installed the networking at the command prompt
fucntions correctly, but 'startx' kills the system so that the computer
must be physically reset.

When I uninstall the tulip driver X windows functions correctly.

By installing I mean uncommenting the the rc.modules modprobe line.

My configuration is Slackware Linux 3.5, kernel 2.0.34.  I upgraded to
the 0.89H tulip driver (this had no effect on the problem).

Thanks for any help,
