What is the maximum resolution your laptop?

Then there is no need for xf86config.  Simply install
the appropriate Xserver package from Slackware 4.0 
and no-xvesa.tgz.  Then look in /etc.  You should 
find a file named XF86Config.  Replace that file with 
the XF86Config file you found.  

That's all there is to it (do not run the xf86config 
utility -- it is for building an XF86Config from 
scratch).  Execute startx.  If the XF86Config file
you found is correct, then your new Xserver should
boot.

Let us know how it goes.

Cheers,
Steven
