Linux on Intel 845 Mainboard

After only two weeks of WinXP on my brand spanking new P4 2.4 Ghz with Intel 845GBV mainboard I want to dual boot with Slackware. Keeping in mind I never installed Slackware, but I think I've read enough to hack my way through. My question is will Slack 8.1 take this fairly new motherboard? I'm looking to avoid the many installation approach because of controller conflicts and such.

Works fine on my Shuttle MB47N (845GL). The only issue is that X won't work fine with an 845 Chipset graphics (if your VGA is on-board). But that's not a Slackware problem bux XFree86's.

I'm resurrecting this old post becuase I'm experiencing similar problems. I've installed the official intel drivers and ran xorgconfig. Both ran smoothly. However, after executing
Code:
startx
I then see a black screen for a few moments. Then I get the following error messages:
Code:
(EE) VESA(0): No matching modes
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

Please consult the X.Org Foucantion support 
            at [xorg wiki website] for help.
...
Code:
XIO: Fatal error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0" 
after 0 requests (0known processed) with 0 events remaining

What version of slackware?

Can you post the following:
Code:
lspci
lsmod
And you MAY have better luck with 'xorgsetup'

And checkout the link in my sig about DRI. Most of it is about Intel chips.

Try

/usr/X11R6/bin/xorgsetup
Root's path does not point to the X11 binary directory, so just type the whole path.

Actually, if you login as root it does, but 'su' to root, and you have the same path as user

That command worked well. I had to navigate through the different xorgconfig options. I'm now using fluxbox. Thanks
