Assuming you have a valid /etc/apt/source.list file and apt is installed, you can simply type (as root): apt-get install xserver-s3 and when it's all done you'll have the S3 server installed and ready to go. To double-check, look in /usr/X11/bin for a file named XF86_S3 (r something similar); make sure this file name is matched by the first line in /etc/X11/Xserver.
