Thanks to all for Slackware64-current. Thanks to the slackware team.

My machine with its on board HD3200 based graphics was not a happy bunny
with Slackware64-13.0. Swapped to current where X.org now supports this
card without proprietary drivers and all is sweetness and light. Not been
running long enough to properly comment on stability - but it is looking
good so far. Don't know if KDE 4.3.5 is part of the reason for improved
stability, but it works fine. Composting works fine and I know it can
thought of as eye candy - but some things seem rather useful - like "present
windows". So it is not just for making things look pretty.

Thanks also to everyone at slackbuilds and Eric Hamleers for his stuff
including multilib. Also Ponce's sbo-git repository - it had packages for
slack64-current for stuff I could not get to build.
(http://github.com/Ponce/SBo-git)

Thank you to whoever produced the script I used to create the slackware64-
current iso.

Also worth thanking David Spencer and cspeil at gmane.comp.misc.ptx for
updating the mercurial version of enblend-enfuse when I had build problems.
(libpng issue).

Although I suppose the usual warnings that the slackware-current might have
broken stuff are needed - which has kept me away from it up till now- I'm
finding everything is working nice and smoothly here.

Pete
