It should be no problem to get Xlib and X clients working, independent of
having an X server working. Perhaps somebody should try making an X
package built with just the Xnest server or something like that, so we can
get a full X development and client environment going before necessarily
having actual screen-driving X servers working.
Some hackers in Japan previously got real X servers working too.
Okuji has been working on getting Linux "char" device drivers working in
gnumach, which include the keyboard and ps2 mouse devices. He also began
working on a new Hurd translator (`streamdev') that would be used for these
devices. You can find his code in ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/contrib/okuji/.
