In case in the future anyone would wish run Hurd under qemu under hyprland: after a "deep research" refered not to GNU/Hurd, but to how run games on hyperland, i did learn there are an application named gamescope. After checking that it works with some games, i said to myself..."what if i apply this to Qemu and Debian Hurd?": $ gamescope --force-grab-cursor -- kvm --enable-kvm _M 3G -drive file=Hurd.img,cache=writeback -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -vga qxl And voilá!. Qemu is running Debian GNU/Hurd and the mouse is working as well as it do with X11/Xorg. Best Regards. Jose Luis. -- https://lordofunix.org/ Not Registered GNU/Hurd User. Registered BSD User 51101.
