Hello,
Thanks for your interest in GNU/Hurd.
One thing I used to get a reasonable mouse movement was to enable the
software cursor. Add to /etc/X11/org.conf:
# Use when the mouse cursor looks strange/behaves badly.
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Option "HWCursor" "off"
EndSection
BTW: do you already use the C-A-bksp workaround to exit from X
properly?
# Exiting X when xinit cannot shut down X (as user):
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection
In the future, I think you should send your questions to bug-hurd or
debian-hurd since this list is very low traffic right now (but that
might change).
