Hi Chuck: I can't answer your question directly about the frame buffer thing in slackware but I'm curious to know why you want to use frame buffers? I just saw a note from Linus last week where he mentioned that no sane person should use frame buffers unless they needed them for video card support. If it is to get extended video you can do that without frame buffer support by including video selection support when you compile the kernel and then placing a vga=extended line in your lilo.conf file.
