I don't know about the symbolic link, but you should be able to find the
XFree86-VGA server on the disk. It is probably under
/mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS. Then install the VGA server. I had the same
problem with my Voodoo Banshee. Installed the VGA server, then installed
the 3DFX drivers and it worked fine.
