Slax has always had xorg problems, I Don't know why these problems were not solved. It would be a good distro if these problems disappear. When I Use slax and do things such as coping or deleting a lot of files on a partition that is not the slax one xorg crashes and sometimes the screen flicks with the cursor that go where he wants. Have you ever noticed this problem?

@Mike95

The graphics problem that you are experiencing might be because xorg in slax 6 is too old :(
Have you tried the latest drivers, ie., download them from slackware-current and lzm'd them?

You can't complain too much. Have you donated to slax project? If you have, then you have right to complain and ask Tomas for help, but if you have not then you are on your own my friend.

I don't have a credit card as i'm only 16 years old (almost 17). I know that to keep this domain online costs money, I'd like to help but I can't. I'm not complaining but I'm reporting an issue and asking for help to know how to fix it. well I'll try to do what you said, I'll download the xorg server and update it. what are its dependencies

hi,

try with kernel Boot-Parameter (for original Slax 6.1.2 only):
"i915.modeset=0"

if no success, then use the "remix" version of slax together with:
"i915.modeset=1"

the remix version has newer intel grafics drivers and also
supports "KernelModeSwitching" (i915.modeset)

if you have a mobile (PentiumM+i915?) and the touchpad does not work you may also enjoy this one:
"psmouse.proto=imps"

however you should remove this one from the kernel boot-parameters:
"vga=..."

thats outdated and may disturb the KMS

bye
Bill

Slax remix 0.8
http://www.mediafire.com/?rrprviubflos6

There is a later version -slax remix 0.90 , but I can't longer find the iso links (that is still active / available):

The slax remix v09 post on slax's forum is mirrored at porteus , but as far as I can tell the iso is gone , but you can try links by links:-

Except blaze89 but I think this is the russian localisation:-
