What devices are you using? I have Slackware set up on 2 machines. A dual Celeron 450 with a Voodoo 3 2000 and an ISA AWE64. The other one is a Duron 1.2Ghz with an ECS K7S5A and its onboard Sis 7012 sound chip plus a GeForce 4 Ti4200. For the Nvidia and Voodoo drivers, I used the tar.gz method. Was quite painless and I just followed the xf86config mods mentioned in their READMEs. 3d acceleration works great on both machines! If I had tried to use the RH 6.1 specific rpms, it would likely have been a lot more trouble. Sound config was even easier, all I had to do was uncomment or add a couple of lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.modules. Had to read a K7S5A HOW-TO to figure out what device to use for the Sis 7012 though. After that, the arTs server figured out everything else automatically. I can get essentially the same functionality out of my gfx and sound hardware as I do under Windoze and that makes me very happy with Slackware Linux. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
