okay.. to make a symbolic link (also known as a symlink) you need to use to
ln command, the standard way is to type
ln -s {original file} {name of symlink}
so to make /etc/X a symlink to /usr/X11/bin/XF86_S3
you will type (probably as root)
ln -s /usr/X11/bin/XF86_S3 /etc/X
hope that helps (to find out more about ln, you can type 'man ln')
