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
