Back with Slackk.. 13! Slacked!!! Again

I recently installed the Slackware 13 (as my Slackware 12.2 failed to resist my experiments ).Though the installation went easy but the successful run of the Slackware 13 was not easy.When the installation was complete first problem I encountered was startx showed me my XFCE screen & then hangs.The reason was that intel 82865 chipset does not work with standard Slackware 13.0 .So everyone out there with Intel 8 series graphics dont leave Slackware 13 cause you can’t run X within it.You just need to follow the post instructions(OR better update your system with current).

The solution is to compile a stable kernel.I used 2.6.32-rc5 and 2.6.32 and zen kernel patches(version mentioned in the post).
The kernel 2.6.32-rc5 showed errors regarding kthread.c.it had element ‘rt’ undefined in method kthread_bind() did a lot of reverse engineering and came to the conclusion that kernel 2.6.32.rc5 is buggy & then used a stable kernel 2.6.32 which ran successfully.
After all done I started X using startx I get Qt errors gooogling gave me reasons about that too.I found Qt too needs to be upgraded to Qt-4.5.
The best solution being the upgrade-all packages:

do slackpkg update
slackpkg install-new
slackpkg upgrade-all
slackpkg clean-system
check and make sure that kernel 2.6.32-5-smp is installed along with kernel firmware kernel modules kernel headers and kernel sourc

Have fun! :^) I hope you find Slackware to be useful.
