I have tried installing Slackware 11.0 about 5 times with 3 different kernels. Not that I am having fun, but I am just trying to figure out what the problem is. I cannot get the monitor to work, having input all the pertinent information into xorgconfig. The following is a portion of the Xlog:
(II) LoadModule: "i810"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/i810_drv.so
(II) Module i810: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 6.9.0, module version = 1.4.1
Module class: X.Org Video Driver
ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.8
.

(II) I810: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810, i810-dc100,
i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 852GM/855GM, 865G, 915G, E7221 (i915),
915GM, 945G, 945GM
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0
(EE) No devices detected.
Fatal server error:

It is may be a driver problem, but, I need help here.
I not only used xorgsetup, but I also checked the xorg.conf file, and the configs I entered in xorgsetup were there. The monitor manual presets are below. Sorry about the vertical presentation.

This may be more inforamtion that asked, but, it's all there. Thanks for the suggestions.
It is as you suggested. In xorg.conf the driver in the Device Section is "vga". I did as bioe007 said, and a monitor said on a black backgoujd, "Cannot Display This Video Mode". So, I changed the default color depth from 24 bits to 18 bits.
