You need the S3 server. This is available at various sites; I got my copy from
robots.ox.ac.uk (or maybe it was ftp.robots.ac.uk, I can't remember). Once
you've got that, I will pre-empt some other problems you will have:

1) Uncompress all your font files
2) Run mkfontdir
3) Replace your Xconfig fontpath line with that from the supplied Xconfig.mono

This is what I did, and now have X speeding along at 1024x768 in glorious
technicolour...
