There was one patch in the gnumach package which was accidently
disabled, so maybe that is why the updated Hurd console does not work.
Those packages are not well tested yet, sorry.
If you do not need X for the time being (we are working on that), using
the current versions in unstable (i.e., gnumach 20050801-2 and hurd
20050513-5) should at least get the Hurd console working.
Maybe you can get X working using old xserver-xfree86 (from
snapshot.debian.net perhaps, if they are no longer in unstable) packages
and the Xorg libraries, but I have not tried this.
cheers,
Michael
