Re: xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused even after dpkg-reconfigure

[Almudena Garcia]

Yes, this problem is known. I reported this two months ago.

We think that the problem is related to the PCI Arbitrer, which has not implemented the necessary calls to make Xorg work.

In my case, I tested It using the VESA driver (the only currently supported in Hurd), and VESA was not able to detect my monitor.

Maybe It can be solved by implementing a DRM (Direct Rendering Manager), which can allow us to using other drivers from the kernel, like Intel driver.

But I'm not sure about this.

Maybe Samuel or Joan Lledó can explain more about this

Thanks
