Hello again more whining about X4 on Hurd follows :) Well, I totally resinstalled my system: did a reformat (because I was having those inodes problems also), installed new tarball, updated, installed many packages, in the end an up-to-date system with no broken dpes; deepest congrats to all whom made this happen, it's the most featureful and stable system yet. So, problems: I had a 'Bus Error' terminate dpkg when I was installing many packages at one that were on my disk; I did them by groups and it worked. X4: well, installed the XFree86 server, xbase-clients, etc. Exported LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib; added /usr/X11R6/bin to PATH; /usr/bin/X was a binary and /etc/X11/lib/X was link to an obscure X server, symlinked /etc/X11/lib/X to /usr/X11R6/bin/X and this one to the XFree86 server; before I did this I would get a continous error message containing 'nice(): process does not exist'. Set the mouse translator... but I can't get pass this one: when I start X (either with startx, xinit or even X or XFree86) it begins OK, the custom messages, everything being loaded.Then my screen changes resolution, great, but then t returns to the console ans stays there, letting me contemplate a screen with the X messages ending in a '(--)Default resolution xxxx pixmap is 24 pixels' ors something like that. I notice that everty pty under /dev appears listes in a 'ps aux', so there are about 20 /hurd/term running. I'm running out of ideas; BTW, this is more or less what used to happen when I compiled X from source after apllyting Marcus patch to it, it would blink and then return to the console (but then it would add to it changing the conlor of the backgroung of the console to green). Any ideas on what' did I did wrong, or ways to find out and help debuggin are greatly appreciated. Best Regards, fsm -- Frederico S.
