You should try the Slackware 4 svgalib first. If it fails, then
install the alternate svgalib that I gave the link for.

According to Slackware 4 MANIFEST.gz, svgalib is in a4/elflibs.tgz and
d1/svgalib.tgz. svgalib.tgz contains an /etc/vga/libvga.config, which
worked on my computer. If it doesn't work for you, you should be able
to change the chipset specification in libvga.config so that it
matches your video card.

Sorry, I confused 2.4.31 and 2.2.26. Somehow I thought that BL3.40
does not work with Slackware 4 svgalib. In fact, BL3.40 and SW40
svgalib are working here, after a quick test.
