file then it says it will go to default settings low monitor 32 MHz
and then it dyes with "segmentation fault"

Yes that's what I have bin trying before. But actually I don't know
exactly what I have bin trying before.

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.

Now this is what Davie wrote:

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.
