Hi all, I was wondering if someone can help me out. If recently installed GNU/Hurd on to my machine and have been trying to get XFree86 installed. And today I found an mirror of old packages from alpha.gnu.org at ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/gnu/alpha/gnu/hurd/debian/ and have managed to get XFree86 to install.
Now here comes the problem. Most (if not all) of the help I can find
about running XFree86 tell me to run the commands
settrans -cg /dev/kbd
chown root /dev/kbd
chmod 444 /dev/kbd
settrans /dev/kbd /hurd/kbd /dev/kbd
to start the translator for the keyboard. The only thing is I don't have
/hurd/kbd on my machine (hurd 20040508-2) and was wondering if the
method of setting up the keyboard had changed or if /hurd/kbd was
missing because I need to install another package or if it's a bug in
the hurd package?

Homer: No, it's Homer.
CBG: Well then, I would thank you to stop peering at my screenplay,
Homer. And if I see a movie where computers threaten our personal
liberties, will know that you stole my idea.
Homer: I'm just waiting for my kid.

Mental note: steal his idea.
