X-windows doesn't work with Radeon.

I'm at a loss. But it looks like our very own techiemoe had a similar problem and it doesn't look like he resolved it. Slackware Linux 12.2

If you like slackware's simplicity of design, you might try Arch Linux. Arch Compared To Other Distros - ArchWiki

I find it very hard to believe this is a Slackware issue.

To me it is actually quite obvious that it is a driver/hardware issue. I did some searching on various search engines before I posted here, and it seems others also have problems with Xpress 200 and X, however most of what I found was mere ramblings and not consistent and formalized enough to put up here as references.

That's the reason why I migrate to ubuntu linux.

Yeah, I should have just used "UBUNTU", that would solve all my problems ... except, ummm, no.
Not to mention that just the name "Ubuntu" makes me want to throw up.

Try again with the radeon driver, but try these changes

1. In the "Monitor" section comment out the HorizSync and VertRefresh

2. Change the "Screen" Section to:

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
		  DefaultDepth    16
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     16
                Modes    "1280x1024"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

or

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
		  DefaultDepth    24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes    "1280x1024"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

I'm using a similar card (xpress 1100 seigned for amd cpu's rather than the 1200 (ntel cpu's) and can do a dual screen (1280x800) and (1920x1080 HD)
with the ati binary driver or single screen (1280x800) ot (1920x1080 HD) with xorg radeon driver
