Yes -- you need a proprietary X server from www.suse.com.  Diamond won't
release the specs public yet, but suse is making a binary-only release
available.    

Once you get X installed, extract the archive so the server ends up in
/usr/X11R6/bin, symlink the server name to /usr/X11R6/bin/X, then it
should work.
