S3 savage IX, many problems
I have a Micron Transport GX+, P3 750. I recently installed Slackware 9 and whenever I selected, the correct video settings KDE froze after it loaded. After that I tried installing the latest Redhat it properly detected my video-card as S3 Savage IX and screen resolution at 1400x1050. One problem I had with Redhat that I also had with Suse 8.1 was that when I opened up a browser the screen went haywire with lines everywhere. I really dislike Redhat so I saved the x86config, and reinstalled Slackware. I changed all of the video and monitor settings in slacks x86config to match the Redhat one. When I rebooted and logged in as root KDE loaded at the right resolution but text and windows where too huge to fit on the screen. I read another post on here, and just created another user and it fixed the problem except whenever I use the root password the fonts return and the system freezes. I also have the original problem that whenever I open Mozilla or Konquer the screen messes up and my system freezes. I'm pretty new at this, any help is very much appreciated.
