+Getting X to work on the GNU/Hurd
+=================================
+
+This is a try to get X to work in my qemu GNU/Hurd. 
+
+Firstoff: I used the following guides: 
+
+* [X Under the Hurd from debian-hurd](http://www.kerneltraffic.org/debian-hurd/dh20000112_31.html#3)
+* [GNU/Hurd FAQ](http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/faq.en.html#q4-7)
+
+
+What I did
+----------
+
+I worked as root. 
+
+First I installed xorg, x-window-system-code, rxvt and twm: 
+
+    apt-get install xserver-xorg x-window-system-core rxvt twm
+
+Then I set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and DISPLAY
+
+    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib
+    export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
+
+After that I set the mouse and keyboard translator. 
+
+    settrans /dev/kbd /hurd/kbd /dev/kbd
+    settrans -c /dev/mouse /hurd/mouse --protocol=ps/2
+
+Then I started x
+
+    startx
+
+It didn't work yet - but watch the blog for updates - I'll post once I get it 
+working.
