Since he already has BL2 installed and configured, I
would suggest that he keep the BL2 platform and simply
add a better Xserver (from Slackware 7.1).  The most
common Xserver is xsvga.tgz, but there are several 
other possibilities (it depends on the video card).  
The BL2 FAQ has more information on this.

Cheers,
Steven
