Check out ftp.xfree86.org. In the /pub/XFree86/4.1.0 directory,
download Xinstall.bin and Xinstall.sh. Run the Xinstall.sh and it will
tell you what you need to download.
Make sure you read through the docs though. They are very helpful, and
it tells you how to determine which version of the 4.1.0 release you
will need for your machine.
Here's what I needed to download, and a patch.
[root@r2d2 XF86]# ls -la

So check out the FTP site. It's a pretty simple install, but it took a
while. I have a 1.2 Ghz Athlon, and I think it took 30 minutes to do
everything. But part of it you had to answer some questions. So start
it, and stick around for a few minutes, then check back on it every so
often.
