I think any patch will do thing... for 2.6.30 or 2.6.29

This may need too:
patches from: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=266819
config_x86_32.patch

./ati-installer.sh 8.62 --buildpkg Slackware/All

go to: common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/
copy fglrx.ko on hand to /lib/modules/2.6.30/external/
depmod -a
try load it.

In
cd packages/Slackware/x_pkg/
You must have all files need to copy in /usr/lib/ and /etc/ati ... it is full path tree just copy
- watch for module dir it will not copy because is link ot missing in Slack!
- just copy -r modules/* /usr/lib/xorg/modules/
see that all is copied right.

try to start X

"[fglrx:firegl_find_any_map] *ERROR* Invalid map handle!<3>[fglrx:drm_vm_close] *ERROR* map not found -> inconsistent kernel data!!! vma_start:0xb5b01000,handle:0xd0000000"
This will stay on dmesg but GL will work.


OLD:
Not working after startX and try openg X crash...

Slackware Upgrade to txz package's use

download from any mirror from current in "a" are left .tgz packages that is neded:

I use this mirror "http://mirrors.unixsol.org/slackware/slackware-current/slackware/a/"
Step by step - it is important to maintain this steps,

upgradepkg slackware/ap/slackpkg-2.71.2-noarch-1.tgz - custum
upgradepkg --install-new slackware/a/xz-4.999.8beta-i486-1.tgz
upgradepkg --install-new slackware/a/gzip-1.3.12-i486-1.tgz
upgradepkg --install-new slackware/a/tar-1.22-i486-2.tgz
upgradepkg --install-new slackware/a/pkgtools-12.34567890-noarch-5.tgz

That s all.

2.6.29 no init found short

For my this was new function in kernel:

Security option->Root Plug Support->Disable

make
...
And all was OK

Now ATI 4870 wait for new drivers
ATI are fast now 9.3 was Out - no luck 2.6.29 incompatible !

KDE4 - GTK Font Fix Error was: "Gtk-WARNING **: Default font does not have a positive size"

Simply:

Must have: "Control the style and fonts used by GTK applications" in other words this: "gtk-kde4" - 74689-gtk-kde4v0.8.tar.gz

killall xfce-mcs-manager
killall gnome-settings-daemon

System Properties - System Panel - Fonts -> Choose Some Fonts NOW!. - important.
System Properties - System Panel - Use my KDE style in GTK Applications and Use my KDE Fonts
Can try different things.
RESTART APP.
If not help Repeat First step and restart again.

Cant use this for fine control: "gtk-chtheme"
Restart GTK app.

acpi acpid and power menagement Slackware

Unfinished but if Power management troubles You it works now!

http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_make_use_of_Dynamic_Frequency_Scaling# - Read This

If hardly want to Read
http://www.acpica.org/downloads/index.php
http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/acpi/faq.php - can read it but it seems old

In kernel src
make menuconfig
Power management select all acpi options even is marked as depreciated

recompile restart with new kernel

acpid must be happy and started if not look at /etc/rc.d/rc.acpid and make it runnable +x

get "speedfreq" and compile

See the source below load all acpi modules

This is what i load more of them are not need!

Here is mine bash function src :

### ACPI CPU
function acpi_cpu {

# ACPI & CPU modules
#
modules=`ls -q /lib/modules/2.6.28/kernel/drivers/acpi/; \
ls -q /lib/modules/2.6.28/kernel/drivers/cpufreq/; \
ls -q /lib/modules/2.6.28/kernel/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/;`;
for i in $modules; do
modprobe $(echo "$i"|cut -d"." -f 1);
done;
[ -x /usr/sbin/speedfreqd ] || { echo "/usr/sbin/speedfreqd - not found, exiting "; return; }
### [ "$?" -eq 0 ] && success $"$base startup" || failure $"$base startup"
speedfreqd -u # -u user can mod

echo "$? ACPI CPU FREQ Modules loaded. SpeedFreq Started";

} ### ACPI CPU END

P.S>
cpufreq - is not recommended yet - after start crash.

On most motherboards APM not work with Dual Core and etc processors if work he disable one of the cores!

see that file: /etc/acpi/acpi_handler.sh - it is ACPID default action you can change and add some functionalities.

And Now power button must PowerOff your computer.

hunspell howto

install firefox ext dict for Your country or get dict's
find dict's.
in dir like "/home/YOURHOME/.mozilla/firefox/w8yjrjmg.default/extensions/bg-BG@dictionaries.addons.mozilla.org/dictionaries/"

become root and
copy *.aff .dic to -> /usr/share/myspell/dicts/
that's all

if see "error - iconv_open: UTF-8 -> microsoft-cp1251" after start hunspell!!!

change bg_BG.aff first line to something appropriate for iconv.
in my case:
SET windows-1251 - work fine
SET microsoft-cp1251 - don't work
