Signal 4 is an illegal instruction. Could you attach your complete
Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf? Please also attach or paste the contents
of /proc/cpuinfo.

The 2D driver in Xorg 6.9 is DRI ready. But you'd still need to build
the mach64 and drm kernel modules and the Mesa 3D driver from CVS
because they are most likely not included in your distribution. You
could install a binary snapshot on top of the Xorg package from
slackware. The Xserver and modules in snapshots/extras are from a
release candidate, so they may have bugs that are fixed in the release.
