SUre; you can just pull XF86_S3 off the directory on the CD.
Just make sure you set the permissions right if you're using startx
instead of xdm to start it up:
{/usr/X11R6/bin} root@mortis: %ll | grep S3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 7 Sep 21 03:08 X@ -> XF86_S3
-rws--x--x 1 root wheel 2366718 Aug 4 03:47 XF86_S3*
And setup the symlink from X to XF86_S3, or it won't work right.
Hope it helps!!
