try "eval `lesspipe`" and using plain less.
Xserver.1x.gz seems to be a man page. So either put it in a path were
man finds it (beware of duplicates) or look at man man if there´s an
option to read a man page from another place then /usr/man/wherever.
Last resort is using [gtn]roff -man(doc) Xserver.1x |less for it.

There´s a linuxdoc-sgml.sty in sgml-tools and linuxdoc.sty in qweb.
