slackware 8.1 could have problems, if you upgrade to XFree86 4.3 manually with the precompiled binaries you can download from xfree86.org if you still use the DRM modules coming with the kernel 2.4.18 vanilla. AT less you will have to download and recompile correct DRM modules.
Slackware 9.0 (now rc2) has Xfree86 4.3 compiled with glibc 2.3.1, and kernel 2.4.20 with some patches. This slackware ships also the correct DRM modules to work correctly on XFree86 4.3.
That just to clarify esplicitally this question
