X does not work
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!
