Distro: Slackware 8.0
XFree86: 4.2.0
Also: I have installed Slakcware's A* and N* Packages and then Downloaded
XFree86, then copied from the slackware CD KDE, then ran the installer again
to add KDE (After I setup XFree86 of course =)

To Jim -> you say to use TGUI 9660 - Where do I put that at in XF86Config?
Under Device as Chipset, Driver, or whatnot?
