The fglrx module is not loading because of a version mis-match.  Are you
sure you downloaded the proper one from:

http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/linux/radeon-linux.html

?  They have a shell script that will detect your version of XFree for
you.  That URL shows their latest driver version to be v3.9.0 and it
looks like you are running a much older one (Sep 21 2003) v3.2.8.  

My apologies if you've already tried this and for any additional loss of
hair due to my reply :P

I haven't tried slack10 yet, but I have been running X.org for the last
2 months under Fedora Core 2.  I'm happy to report no major glitches :)
