Hi Alan,

definitely this is not a normal installation, because all the drivers 
goto /opt/X11R7 in a isolate environment.

after type startx i got a black desktop, but i am able to open a 
terminal, to create folders and navigate by the system through the 
folders, but that i want to do is to have the same environment like Xorg 
does
