Well, the output of showtrans /dev/*  for mouse and keyboard is as follows: /hurd/mouse protocol=ps/2 /hurd/kbd  /dev/kbd seems physical while my mouse is ps/2, and i have a standard keyboard.However, there is a patch in UCHIYAMA Yasushi   home page (hurd-xfree86.patch) that I don't use:: how do I install this patch? maybe this is the gen of X crash. And something else,(might be usuful ) in order to install libc0.2(2.1.95) I use this command dpkg --install  libdb2..... libdb2-util....  libnss-db... libc0.2_2.1.95.... Thanks alot, I'm waiting for a response. ---------------------------------------- Petros Sidiropoulos [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~GRECCE~ ----------------------------------------
