Which X server are you using?  The default X server in
Slackware 8.1 is designed for VESA cards -- but not the
old VESA cards.  There is a cut-off point, but I don't
remember what it is.  1.2 ?   2.0 ?

You say you have an S3 Trio 64V+ video card.  I believe 
this card is VESA 1.2.  That VESA may be too old to work
with the default X server.  If so, try the S3 X server 
from the /pasture directory of Slackware 8.1.

Cheers,
Steven
