can't open X-session in new installation slackware 15.0 x64
by vonbiber from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6EN3P)
I installed slackware-15.0 64-bit on a brand new laptop.
I applied the latest patches available (including linux-5.15.117/*).

[ 325.237] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for modesetting
[ 325.237] (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory
[ 325.237] vesa: Refusing to run on UEFII was wondering if this was due to the new kernel.
So I tried a new installation on another partition.
This time I skipped the patching from the linux-5.15.117
This time the booting process got stuck here
