They distribute binaries for xf-4.1.0 compiled under Slackware with AA
fonts built in. There have been a couple of complaints about X on the
slackware-devel list but mostly it boiled down to PEBKAC type errors and
none mentioned the i810 specifically that i saw. Mine was one of those
complaints and, in my case, it was a collection of dust puppies wreaking
havoc - a half hour spent cleaning out the case worked wonders.
The one thing that is most definately screwed up with Slackware is KDE,
whoever built it did *something* very wrong. I just built kde2.2beta1
here and it works way better - faster starts, no crashes and all the kde
menu items actually work including all the koffice stuff.
