Those *.tar.gz -files are probably the sources to XFree86, so you'd need
to compile XFree86 after unpacking the files. You can unpack the files
with "tar -xfz file-name-of-the-file-you-wanna-unpack", but if you don't
know anything about compiling programs yourself, then I don't suggest you
to begin with XFree86. You'll just ruin your system. Where'd you get the
*.tar.gz -files from? Couldn't find any binary packages, like rpm?

Forgot to add; if you insist on trying, then unpack the files and read the
README and INSTALL -files =)

If you check at X.Org's download site, you find that they are offering source
for something they call X11R6.7.0 (as in X11R6.7.0-src1.tar.gz)
