[2025-jun-17] The SlackDocs mailing lists at https://lists.alienbase.nl/mailman/listinfo have been retired. No one has been using these lists for years and it's time to say goodbye. The list archives remain available at https://scalzi.slackware.nl/mailman/listinfo/slackdocs

[2025-jun-17] The SlackDocs Wiki has moved to a new server, in order to make it more performant.

Slackware 14.0 on an Acer Aspire One ZA3

Slackware 14.0 easily installs on an Acer Aspire One ZA3, but X windows crashes. I found a fix that works from another Slacker. When Slackware 14.0 boots up log in as root and enter this command:

# rmmod poulsbo psb_gfx

Then exit root user, log in as your regular user and start X windows. I use startx.

I am pleased to note that my Acer Aspire One ZA3 netbook now functions properly with Slackware-current using the 3.8.4 kernel. All is well.
