Hi all,
I have managed to install Plan-9 and get 8-1/2 working @1024x768x8.
I really love the acme editor/environment and the excellent alef
language.
Anyway, I seem to only be able to open about 3 large windows...
If I have only one window on the screen then I can move it and
reshape it etc, but with three windows (depends on the size of each)
on the screen then all windowing operations seem to fail. I seem
to remember seeing a message at one stage saying something like
"Out of Bitmap Memory"... Is this the case or is something else
wrong? Is there a fixed amount of memory allocated to windows?
Thanks for any help in advance,
Andrew McVeigh
p.s. replies by e-mail preferred, as my news feed is absurdly slow.

Bit maps live in the kernel. The kernel gets 30% of
memory by default. If you have a smallish system, this can
limit bit map space.
You can change how much the kernel gets by sticking the line
kernelpercent=40
in plan9.ini. Replace 40 with whatever works...
