Today I test OLPC under slackware 10.2 several times and result are

Now, we can use OLPC to run .swf that eat 338 MB RAM by using
decentralization techniques I used since 1995 at acceptible performance
that students can use.
The condition to make it to work are:
1. slackware 10.2 environment
2. amd VGA frame-buffer support under Xorg 7.1.99.2
Please don't use the term VGA - if you are using LinuxBIOS it doesn't exist.
Period. When you say "amd frame-buffer support" - does that mean you are
using the "fbdev" or "amd" driver? Thats a very important distinction -
the former won't do 2D acceleration, the latter will. Please be very careful
to use the correct terms when reporting your results.

I'm not even sure how you managed to get this framebuffer driver to load.
It is the incorrect framebuffer driver. You should be using gxfb.

Thank you much on your sugession.
I used OLPC config given in OLPC build81 and recompile it under slackware
10.2. For kernel 2.6 it become below .config
CONFIG_FB_GEODE=y
CONFIG_FB_GEODE_GX=y
# CONFIG_FB_GEODE_GX_SET_FBSIZE is not set
CONFIG_FB_GEODE_GX1=m
# CONFIG_FB_VIRTUAL is not set
That means normal frame-buffer and normal AMD already exist in the kernel.
I don't know reason why I have to probe FB_GEODE_GX1 to make the movies to
work w/o problem. I think you should know it more than me.
At this moment, it still has missing minor features that annoy me, for
example press cntl_alt_f1 to f6 cannot bring back to console and I have to
kill X-window only by pressing cntl_alt_bs.
I am also see that it did not have xterm and glx extension in Xorg so I
have to disable glx and copy xterm from slackware 10.2 to put in usb-OLPC
drive.
