Seemed to have fixed this issue.... edited the XF86config file after reading up on it and was sure it was right...except i was getting "could not open default cursor font 'cursor'" error...
friend of mine suggested that i may be missing some packages from my slackware install, perhaps due to a corrupt CD Image...
Reinstalled X from web configured and it works great now.....:D
(in the meantime, have ordered a proper CD from slackware)
cheers for the help tho
