Encouraged by the responses in this group, (and carefully looking at the .tgz
files) I went ahead and untarred them. I ran the supplied xf86config and
guessed at my monitor setting. Then I editied the Xserver file to point the new
server. Works great! Now to fine tune for my monitor (after I find out what
kind it is).
Thanks!
