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.
