What problem in particular are you having? What step do you get to?
Which part doesn't work? What error messages do you get? What have you
tried?

Put the name of the X server you want at the top of /etc/X11/Xserver.
A sample name:
/usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA
You may have to use a different server, depending on your hardware. See
the XF86 HOWTO, to be found in /usr/doc/HOWTO/XFree86-HOWTO.gz if you
installed the HOWTO package. Also try /usr/doc/X11.
Good luck.
