removing x.org and installing xfree86.3.3
 

How much trouble would it be to remove xorg and install xfree863.3?? The reason I would like to do that is it was the last version of X that had good support for the video card in this old laptop.

IBM 760 XL
Slackware 10.2
80 M Ram
4 G Harddrive
CDROM

I have ran slackware since 9.0 with no problems other than video. It works.....but???

You might be hard pressed to get the 9.0 binaries from 9.0 to run (different glibc and other library changes) - you'd probably have to get the SlackBuild script and source files for XFree86 3.3 from a Slackware 9.0 mirror and try to build it yourself.

Thanks for the reply. I probably would have to go farther back than that. I've been trying to work this out since my first install of slackware on this laptop. Slack 7 seems to be the last build that had a version of X with the correct drivers. Do you think it would build with the newer libraries??

i recently visited XFree86's website and the instructions for compiling the latest stable release from sourcecode seemed easy enough to follow, you could try compiling XFree86 from source...
