Douglas Hilton Sent: Saturday, May 19, 2001 3:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Success with Hurd XFree86 - Notes I finally got my X11 working in Hurd today, after tinkering with the kbd and mouse translators. It appears to run fine, other than the weird effect of the console text becoming progressively darker upon each shutdown of X. I noticed that update-menus crashes with Signal 13 when used with the Blackbox WM. For an experiment I tried running the Python browser Grail-0.6 although it crashes while initializing with a segmentation fault. I would install the emacs web browser except there is currently no way to install Emacs. The versions are all different and won't meet dependency requirements. This is true for both Emacs and XEmacs. Also, I dug this out of the mailing list archives, but maybe it should be added to the Hurd FAQ --- <snip> --- Q. How do I set up my PS/2 mouse with XFree86 A. First start the translator like this: settrans -cg /dev/mouse chown root /dev/mouse chmod 444 /dev/mouse settrans /dev/mouse /hurd/mouse --protocol=ps/2 Then edit the Pointer section of /etc/X11/XF86Config Section "Pointer" Protocol "osmouse" Device "/dev/mouse" EndSection
