The Hurd package got recently changed. /hurd/kbd has been removed, so you can't run X from the Mach console anymore. You should run the Hurd console (console -d vga [...]) with the option --repeat=/dev/kbd, like 'console -d vga -d pc_kbd --repeat=/dev/kbd -d generic_speaker /dev/vcs' This will hopefully just work[tm] once the Hurd console is started automatically on bootup.
