Subject: [9fans] X11 for Plan 9
Date: Wed,  9 Apr 2003 16:38:05 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <09ee01c2feae$03e57850$eb4a800a@will5510> (raw)

hi guys
had a play around with X11 for Plan 9 - great to see it running
A couple of questions:
o why is twm for X11 on Plan 9 2 Megs where its 180K on Sun?
    In general the binaries seem to be a lot bigger. This goes against the
    Plan 9 norm of much smaller binaries.
o xterm will not run for me - it says it has run out of ptys
o I cannot connect to the X display from another non Plan 9 box
   running X - this has put a serious dampener on my playing of xtank and
   xrisk!
