Hi,
Better way: making /dev/mouse the default :)
Here is a patch.

Since moving to xserver-xorg, dpkg-reconfigure (even at low priority) does not work anymore, since the debconf values for inputdevice/mouse/port and inputdevice/mouse/protocol are empty, leading to an error message and a 0 size xorg.conf, from /var/cache/debconf/config.dat: Name: xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/mouse/port Template: xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/mouse/port Value: Owners: xserver-xorg Flags: seen Variables: choices = Name: xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/mouse/protocol Template: xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/mouse/protocol Value: Owners: xserver-xorg Flags: seen Variables: choices = I tried to set them manually in there, but to no avail (not being a debconf guru). Thus upgrading this bug report to important, as it renders the package useless on a non-releasing architecture. Anyway, the right values for hurd-i386 are "/dev/mouse" for port and "osmouse" for protocol, could this made default? This is what dpkg-architecture outputs, if it helps: DEB_BUILD_ARCH=hurd-i386 DEB_BUILD_ARCH_OS=hurd DEB_BUILD_ARCH_CPU=i386 DEB_BUILD_GNU_CPU=i486 DEB_BUILD_GNU_SYSTEM=gnu DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE=i486-gnu DEB_HOST_ARCH=hurd-i386 DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS=hurd DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU=i386 DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU=i486 DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM=gnu DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE=i486-gnu Should I find somebody who whips up a patch for this? cheers, Michael -- Michael Banck Debian Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.advogato.org/person/mbanck/diary.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

ZAxisMapping should not be set, > Emulate3Buttons can be, depending on debconf. I have to correct myself here: Emulate3Buttons should *not* be set as well. I just found out that setting this options results in Button-pressed events only getting transmitted together with the Button-released event (by looking at xev). This prevents e.g. dragging of windows. Michael

Great. > What is the canonical way, from the shell, to determine that I am running > on a GNU/Hurd system? Hmm, dpkg-architecture is unfortunately only in dpkg-dev, so I guess uname is the best bet here. It prints out 'GNU' on GNU/Hurd as opposed to 'Linux' on GNU/Linux' and (so I've been told) e.g. 'GNU/kFreeBSD' on GNU/k*BSD. uname -a yields the following on my Debian GNU/Hurd box: GNU nighthawk.oase.mhn.de 0.3 GNUmach-1.3/Hurd-0.3 i386-AT386 GNU Would that suffice?

Oh yeah, I can think of one right away. What is the canonical way, from the shell, to determine that I am running on a GNU/Hurd system? -- G.

Bug#259080: xserver-xfree86: Please special case mouse setup for GNU/Hurd
Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-5 Severity: wishlist Hello, The configuration for GNU/Linux and GNU/Hurd is mostly identical, however, there is a difference in how the mouse is setup. Basically, on hurd-i386, the Device should always be "/dev/mouse" and the Protocol be "osmouse". ZAxisMapping should not be set, Emulate3Buttons can be, depending on debconf. Unfortunately, I'm no debconf wizard, so I hope the changes are not overly complex and could be done relatively easily. It would be nice if X would run out-of-the-box on hurd-i386. Feel free to ask questions, but please CC me. thanks, Michael
