Xconfigurator is the Red hat configuration program, if you don't have RH then you probably don't have it either. you can run XFree86 -configure you will still probably have to hack your XF86Config[-4] file. Usually the monitor does not give problems (if it is not prehistorical), your problems are due to the 810 chip set try using the vesa driver temporarily (it is not accelerated but should work well enough for everything but games and image processing) stick also temporarily with depth 16. Post both Xf86Config[-4] (I don't know whether slackware also uses the -4 for X 4.x.x) and the log (if possible obtained by redirecting startx 2>mylog) then it will be easier for people to help...
