Here are some more details just in case this is new to you. This is a
mix of shell and pseudo shell:
cd #yes, your home dir
mkdir tempX
cd tempX
put the new X332SVGA.tgz file here
tar xvzf X332SVGA.tgz # unpack it all in this dir
find . -name XF86_SVGA # find it in the hierarchy
su
mv /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA.orig #just in case
cp path/XF86_SVGA /usr/X11R6/bin # use the path from find
