I can't help much, I had a Radeon 9200 that never worked reliable with 
the fglrx (it always crashed - even with a simple window manager like 
twm) and I had kde 3.3. It worked very good with the radeon driver 
inside xfree 6.8.0 with no crash ... ever. But I reverted to my old Ati 
Rage 128 until I buy a more decent card.
BTW what do you use... xfree, xorg, what version, what version of kernel 
(to me it worked reliable only with the 2.6 series)... Try upgrading to 
kde 3.3 because by what I think it is kde related since it works with 
gnome. If you think about upgrading your kernel to a 2.6 series google 
a bit around since I read that only some versions in the 2.6 series are 
working ok with respect to this matter... I have 2.6.7 and it's ok, but 
if I remember well 2.6.9 had some problems...

Yes, if nobody would be subscribed nobody would answer ;)
You can always use a forum for quick questions...

Good luck,
Let us know your results...

Besides, I think Slackware sounds better than
 'Microsoft,' don't you ?
