Is xorg-server-1.7.3 necessary to modify to suit FreeBSD?

Thanks for the info.

Following now shows a grey colour window with X-like cursor:
Xorg -retro -config xorg.conf.new

Following shows a graphical clock on white colour background with green 
colour title:
install -v -m644 ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf

 cat > ~/.xinitrc << "EOF"
# Begin .xinitrc file
xclock -g 100x100-0+0 &
twm
EOF

startx


Currently the HAL does not run, I'll compile and reinstall those that 
are depend on Xorg and let the list know the outcome.
