If you've currently got (eg.) the SVGA X server installed, remove
that.  Leave the VGA16 server installed.

Make a copy of your X wrapper (/usr/X11R6/bin/X?), because Xig will
replace that with a symlink to your X server.

Once Xig is installed, cp your copy of X wrapper back to where it
was, then edit /etc/X11/Xserver.
