xorgsetup worked best for me with my intel 815 card and zenith 150A monitor. my wheel mouse doesn't works well. actually the wheels don't work and i can't scroll. i previously used vmware to run windows inside my redhat. i did this solely to learn windows better since so many windows user come to me for support and others. when i tried to install the same tar package in slackware it would not install saying it didn't find directory containig the rc0.d-rc6.d scripts. i did a google and found a work around (i created a separate init directory inside /etc and created the rc0-rc6.d directories in /etc). this seemed to solved the problem for time being and i was able to install it but while running it just didn't showed up. i mean its running but nothing shows up. i know this is not slightest of the slackware problem but i just wanted to see if there's a work around for this problem or a separate slackware version of vmware. anyway slackware is cool even it looks cool than redhat. the hotplug takes a while to start up and i figured it must be the sibling of the kudzu in redhat. i think i will just make it non-executable. my circle of friends have decided to port themselves to bsd version of linux instead to sysv and i am the only one running slackware others are interested in freebsd and types. thank you guys for all the help and keep me posted with things that you may think will help me learn slackware more easily. thanx.

so u wil win, everybody cant be a slacker

hope ur problem is with booting method.. u resolve and learn.
later u wil feel that, this booting is more comfortable than what redhat and others uses. Slackware uses the BSD-style,each runlevel is given a single rc file. and u can comment uncomment add lines to this feel more comfortabe.
regards
