Then I spent my rest time digging into the xorg configuration. Slackware did not use the latest FVWM but contains the latest xorg and it broken with my siliconmotion LynxEM+. I tried with a basic VGA driver, the ctrl-alt-backspace worked. With siliconmotion driver,
(II) LoadModule: "siliconmotion"

(II) Module siliconmotion: vendor="X.Org Foundation"

(**) Silicon MotionOption: NoAccel - Acceleration disabled

(**) Silicon MotionOption: UseBIOS disabled.
As you can see, I disabled accelerator and UseBios options.
And I check packages, here is some difference:

I think X11R6 is not correct it should be 7.0.0 as I dumped by Xorg.0.log

7.1
On my FC5, the version is use 7.0 but it still use the directory /usr/X11R6 not /usr/X11R7.
XCURSOR -> X11/Xcursor/Xcursor.h
I just don't know I can build the old version 7.0 on Slackware.
