The path to XOrg7

Currently the XOrg7 module is not doing this for you. You need to do some things manually

lrm XOrg

mv /etc/X11 ~/

rm -fr /usr/X11R6

Remove some old symlinks:
- rm /usr/X11
- rm /usr/include/X11
- rm /usr/lib/X11
- rm /usr/include/GL

is now as simple as:
lin XOrg7

XOrg7 is installing default in /usr. So not in /usr/X11R6 or anything like that. This follows new standards set by Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (fhs: http://www.pathname.com/fhs). If you browse around on the internet you will see that all major linux distro's have followed this standard. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/04/msg00010.html, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg7, http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Modular_Xorg
