A while back somebody here was having problems getting his S3 Trio64 video card working with Slackware 8.1. Although my own S3 Trio64 worked OK with the XFree86 in Slack81 (version 4), I have recently downgraded to version 3 (which runs better on an old PC). It is surprisingly simple to install a version 3 Xserver in Slack81. All you need is the appropriate Xserver from the /pasture directory of Slack81.
So, if you have XFree86 working on Slackware 3.5 (which uses version 3 of XFree86), you simply install the Xserver from /pasture that has the same name and copy your /etc/XF86Config from Slack35. Note: the Xservers in Slack35 use libc5 (like the other binaries) so they will not work in Slack81 (which uses glibc2). You will need to use the Slack81 versions (in /pasture). If the person who had trouble with his S3 Trio64 contacts me, I will be happy to provide step-by-step instructions.
