Open the second link above.
As it says in the instructions on the page
'If you are not sure which version of XFree86 you have installed, please download and run Check.sh from a command line to find out."
Save Check.sh to your home directory and run it by
./Check.sh
or a simplar way is at the command line type
XFree86 -version
