What you need to do is to read README.tseng. On my Debian system it's
under /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc, but I think it's under /var somewhere
with Slackware. There are several different 'ET4000' variants, and the
server doesn't always autodetect which is which.

I've set up an et4000 and an et4000AX with 3.1.1, and an
et4000wi32revB under 3.2.1 and 3.1.2, all with the SVGA server. It
takes a little mucking about, but it will work, if you persevere.
