Quoth Björn Wikström:
I've just installed Slackware 9.1 and now I'm having trouble with the
X-configuration. I have the Intel 845-G video card and as far as I know
the drivers for this card is in the i810-driver package? When I'm
running the 'xf86config' I put in all the correct values for my card,
mouse and whatever, but still I get the errors saying something about
the BIOS and depth is not correct. I'm pretty new to Slack and Linux in
general, so if someone could give me an step-by-step HOWTO I would
really glad. :)
First read and digest:

My linux-on-laptops page has some info:

That should get you pointed in the right direction. Of course, the
easiest thing to do is to avoid the whole mess and install X from the 4.4
release candidates, available at www.xfree86.org. The fixes have been
incorporated.
