Thanks for all the information.  I obviously had no idea what was in your
package - I thought it was mostly another version of the SVGA server for
X, not an entire set of files needed to install X.  I will download it
(from Australia?) and try your package on my next Linux computer.  I was
only waiting until I got the keyboard to work properly first.  My partner
is interested in xpaint.  He wants to edit the photos that we will be
downloading with photopc (that we unpackaged with ar).
