XF86Config to go through the setup for the X windows server, this is a
known issue with slackware as it doesnt do much probing of the system
before install. I suggest you look at www.tldp.org for guides on setting
up X11... basicalyl just follow the prompts.

Nvidia have drivers for deforce cards, but you will need to edit
/etc/X11/Xf86config and define the driver to use (nvidia)... again this
is documented on the nvidia site I believe.. if not it will be at the
aforementioned URL.

irc: BitchX, Ircii and many others.
