Make a symlink to /usr/X11: ln -s /usr/X11R6 /usr/X11 To extract your X11, try the SVGA driver first. As root user, go to the /usr/X11R6 directory and do the following: gzip -dc /cdrom/XF86331/X331SVGA.tgz | tar xvf - gzip -dc /cdrom/XF86331/X331cfg.tgz | tar xvf - gzip -dc /cdrom/XF86331/X331doc.tgz | tar xvf - gzip -dc /cdrom/XF86331/X331lib.tgz | tar xvf - gzip -dc /cdrom/XF86331/X331man.tgz | tar xvf - After which you'll have your X11. If you wanted to run the server, you need the server programs too. And then, proceed...
