I am unable to run Xwindows.  I have debian 1.31.  I believe I have messed 
something up in an attempt to upgrade the SVGA server.  Ben Pfaff said I needed 
the latest version of the SVGA server to support my Matrox Millenium II, so I 
downloaded X332SVGA.tgz from an X site.  I am not clear how the X files are 
organized in debian, but I believe debian organizes X files differently than 
what the X people consider the standard.  

In any event, I unpacked the file X332SVGA.tgz from  /usr/X11R6/bin with the 
statement
gzip -dc /dosfloppy/x332svga.tgz | tar xfB - 
Further attempts to run Xwindows (before I at least got a 320X200 screen) 
result in  an error message
-X11 TransSocketUNIXConnect : Can't connect : errno = 2
xinit: No such file or directory unable to connect to xserver

So I assume a file is missing but what file?
According to the X people the file /usr/X11R6/bin/X is suppose to be a symbolic 
link to the actual Xserver (for me XF86_SVGA) but even when I had it working at 
low resolution this was not the case.  Am I suppose to manually make the 
symbolic link with
ln -sf /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA  /usr/X11R6/bin/X
or is there some upgrade script that I need to run?

-Thank you for bearing with a debian newbie
