Xorg
Hi,
The latest xorg-x11 packages from unstable now build fine on hurd-i386.
However there are two issues:
1. At least on my box, the X server dies on startup due to the keyboard
driver not working:
(**) Generic Keyboard: Core Keyboard
(EE) PreInit failed for input device "Generic Keyboard"
(II) UnloadModule: "keyboard"
No core keyboard
Fatal server error:
failed to initialize core devices
2. The debconf setup is broken, it cannot autodetect mouse at first, and
then falls over a missing debconf entry, resulting in a zero-byte
xorg.conf (#259080). Copying over an XF86Config-4 works, though.
The packages are at
deb http://people.debian.org/~mbanck/hurd-xorg/ ./
You can revert to xserver-xfree86 (I think you can leave the rest of
xorg around) by adding this line to sources.list:
deb http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2005/07/04/debian unstable main
contrib non-free
and do
apt-get install xserver-xfree86 xserver-common=4.3.0.dfsg.1-8
Please test these packages and report whether they work for you. We
will have to move to xorg ASAP as more and more package transition to
xorg Build-Depends. The buildd has them in his sources.list already.
cheers,
Michael
