Just install Steven's BL2-x package which configures things for you and 
and includes icewm, after the 10MB or so (unpacked) of the VGA server and 
a few other Slackware X packages, to get minimal settings which work with 
any card and monitor. Unfortunately some X programs are now demanding more 
colors - links2, abiword, and opera 7, which is why he created an Xvesa 
BL3 among other reasons.
