Two simple steps:
1) Format your mail messages to stay within 79 columns, preferably
72. This makes them much easier to read.
2) Go back to the FTP server where you got XFree86 and get the S3 server
package as well.
XFree86 3.2 with the S3 server installed easily on my machine here; you
shouldn't have any problems once you get all the correct pieces. While
you're there, get the README file and make sure you have *everything*
you need. lib, etc, and fonts, amongst others, are critical.
