Hello! I tried to install X on the HURD. I downloaded
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/contrib/XFree/X3323-Hurd.tar.gz and the translators ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/contrib/XFree/kbd ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/contrib/XFree/mouse ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/contrib/XFree/pfinet I installed X3323-Hurd.tar.gz with cd / tar -xzf /path-to-X3323-Hurd.tar.gz All files are correctly installed in /X11R6 After that I copied the kbd,mouse and pfinet translators to /hurd I set up the translators with: settrans -cg /dev/kbd chown root /dev/kbd chmod 444 /dev/kbd settrans /dev/kbd /hurd/kbd /dev/kbd settrans -cg /dev/mouse chown root /dev/mouse chmod 444 /dev/mouse settrans /dev/mouse /hurd/mouse --protocol=ps/2 I use a ps/2-mouse. By the way, I installed the latest tar.gz-Version of HURD from Marcus' site. And I installed the .deb-Package hurd. I also set export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 I copied all files from debian-linux, which is running with X on the same box to /etc/X11. When I try to start X I get the following error-messages: _XSERVTransSocketOpen: socket() failed for tcp _XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for tcp _XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for tcp/hurd:0 _XSERVTransMakeAkkCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for tcp Fatal server error: Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running Hmm, what goes wrong when I try to start X? What else do I have to config? Any hints? Thanks in advance for hints! Michael Thaler
