I have a new machine (i7 3770) with Slackware64 14 installed on it. It has a PCI express nvidia card, but I wanted to test the integrated HD 4000 intel chip. I chose the card from my bios menu, and Slackware booted as expected, but now KDE has all effects disabled and a game I tried to run failed with some glx error.
Shouldn't 3d acceleration work out of the box with this card? The Arch wiki mentions an intel-dri package. Is this part of slackware's xf86-video-intel package? It also says that a configuration file is not needed.

Suggestions?
Intel cards work with KMS. To use it, include 'intel-agp' and 'i915' into your Initrd. I do it by adding them explicitly to the MODULES="" line in /etc/mkinitrd.conf.
