A better way would be to install the new server somewhere in
/usr/local. Then edit the file /etc/X11/Xserver so it refers to the
new server. It's best to install local software in /usr/local and not
in /usr.
I'm not sure, but you may need to install the package termcap-compat
for the XFree beta servers to work.
