Hello all,
For some obsure reason i decided to setup X on my hurd machine. I
followed the instructions found in the (slow buried) Hurd Wiki.
But when i type
# console -d vga -d pc_kbd \
-d pc_mouse /2 -c /dev/cons /dev/vcs
i get
console: Too many non option arguments
Try 'console ' or 'console ' for more information
I've installed hurd using debian-K10 cd. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance,
Constantine

You need to remove the `/dev/cons' from this line, just `-c /dev/vcs'
should work. Where did you find the above mentioned?

# console -d vga -d pc_kbd \
-d pc_mouse /2 -c /dev/vcs

console: loading driver '' failed: No such file or
directory

Any advice?

However, the webpage at

includes the above correction (exclude '/dev/cons').

Which version of the console client do you use? Perhaps the version
and/or date of the Hurd package is useful here.

I have installed hurd from the debian-k10 cd (console+libcons
version 0.3).

What does dpkg -l hurd output as version?
