I have fontcacheproto installed and it has fontcache.h installed here /usr/include/X11/extensions/fontcache.h. I reinstalled it to make sure it's working but still get the same result.

that extension is disabled since a long time (more than ten years, actually), see

maybe you should explain what problem is manifesting in your installation: the xset's message
Code:
Font cache:
Server does not have the FontCache Extension
does not denote a malfunction

Actually, there is no malfunction, you are right. But on Fedora I don't get such message after xset q. So I thought I could do something about it. I am new to Slackware and still learning but if that message appearance is normal in Slackware then I will leave it that way. It just has no aesthetic in it, you know.
P.S. I will remove the extension to check it's not needed, thank you!
