Re: X does not work



Hello!

O.K., I downloaded all the necessary files from 
ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.3.3.1/binaries/Hurd
created a directory X11R6, cd'ed it, executed preinst.sh. Then I
untared the archives with tar -xpzf archivname. After that I executed
postinst.sh. 

I Installed the kbd und mouse translators from 
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/contrib/
and set them up like posted in
http://f77.nop.or.jp/doc/XFree86-3.3.3.1.html

When I tried to start X I get a message: can't access keyboard:
Permission denied. (Not exactly this text, I do not remember exactly)

I think it's a problem with the translators and I downloaded the patch
hurd-xfree86.patch. But how can I install this patch on the HURD?
There's a patchls command which lists the contents of the patchfile,
bur no patch-command. I did not find a packet patch. I tried to
install it within linux wit patch -p0 hurd-xfree86.patch, but it did
not work. What do I have to do to install the patch?

I also use the XF86Config of my linux installed on the same box.

I have an ethernet and it works correct, ping, telnet, ftp, i set it
