I've downloaded it from ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.3.3/binaries/Linux-ix86-glibc You need the following files: extract postinst.sh preinst.sh Xbin.tgz Xlib.tgz Xman.tgz Xset.tgz and from the Server directory the XSVGA.tgz Put this files to your /tmp directory,then cd /usr/X11R6 and make a backup of your existing configuration:
tar -zcvf XFree86_Backup ./* then sh /tmp/preinst.sh chmod 755 /tmp/extract /tmp/extract /tmp/X*.tgz sh /tmp/postinst.sh Now you can run XF86Config. This worked fine on my PC,but it should also work with the 3.3.5. Hope i could help you! Bye, Horst
