Well, on my SuSE box I can login as root, getting a root X session. Try
this, instead of sudo and su. If it is forbidden (strong security config),
login as a normal user, then 'slogin -l root -X localhost'. If this does
not work, you can split the installation work between root and a normal
user:

as root in one window: mount the CD, create /usr/local/rsi and chown it
to the normal user

as normal user in another window: run xinstall.sh, it will have write
permission to /usr/local/rsi

regards,
lajos
