Actually, I do 1600x1200 when running windoze on the same machine. It
supports it fine.

RPM now comes with Slackware. I downloaded slackware 7.1 off there site in
December, and that is what I installed. So everyone knows, RPM does come
with Slackware now.
I did an 'rpm --recompile <driver package>' and it recompiled without any
errors. My problem lies in the xserver rpm. It does a dependency check
before installing using 'rpm -Uvh <package>' (as suggested in
documentation). I am thinking of using the rpm2tgz tool provided with
slackware to convert it to a tar gz package and installing it that way,
telling it where to find stuff in a make file. I will write again if I have
success. Thanks for the input.
Regards,
Jeff Kirkland
