[2024-feb-29] Sad news: Eric Layton aka Nocturnal Slacker aka vtel57 passed away on Feb 26th, shortly after hospitalization. He was one of our Wiki's most prominent admins. He will be missed.

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.
