It works!
But I need a script now.
Also I need to recompile the kernel a bit further so I can install
NVIDIA install (7174) and a touch more responsiveness (if possible).

All I need is an init script.
Any pointers?
Slackware is different - there is no init.d
I do not know where a init script would go - or how it would get fired.
