Have you installed a window manager? Since you see that screen and can use you mouse, it seems that the X serv= er=20 itself is installed correctly. In particular, the window manager that should be started up by your xinit= rc=20 script (that is either ~/.xinitrc or in the absence thereof=20 /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc).
