When you ftp the X32*.tgz files you need, also get preinst.sh and
postinst.sh. Cd to /usr/X11R6, run preinst.sh, then extract each of
the .tgz files you need. Run postinst.sh to clean up. Now run
XF86Setup, the cool new graphical setup utility in 3.2.
Works like a charm, as long as you actually know what kind of VGA card
you've got. (I spent an hour yesterday trying to convince X that my
card had an S3 ViRGE, when closer examination revealed it was an S3
Trio64. ;^)
