How do I upgrade to XFree86-4.1.0 from the command line as root so I can get my ixMicro TT video card to work?

Thanks!

I tried this kernel argument with no success:
video=imsttfb:vmode:16,comde:32

The version of Xfree86 that comes with YDL 2.0 doesn't support this card and they say this but here's the version of X that does:
http://xfree86.org/4.1.0/Status16.html#16

I need to figure out how to upgrade this from command line as root.

Any tips appreciated!

:atyfb128 is for an ATI Rage128 card
