Just upgrade the X server itself.
The original place is <ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.1.2A/Linux/>
The dir has two subdirectories: elf & aout. Choose according to your needs
(slackware >=3.0 -- elf). The file you want is X312AMa64.tgz. As root, do:
cd /
tar xvzf /path_to_the/X312AMa64.tgz
chmod 4755 /usr/X11/bin/XF86_Mach64
Add to XF866Config, in section "Device", line
Option "program_clocks"
Run
X -probeonly 2>xout
Investigate xout file; if it seems reasonable (i.e., all resolutions are
accepted), pray and run `startx' :)
