i've seen that message when trying to create a new
window that's bigger than the overall display size.
e.g. using emu -g800x600 on a 640x480 screen.

the error message is coming from rio.

what command line arguments did you give emu?

  cheers,
    rog.

I hope it's OK to post Inferno related topics here. If there
is a better place please advise me.

I just installed Inferno onto my Plan9 OS. Everything went well
and followed the directions in the README.

I have gotten down as far as starting the wm Window Manager.
This is what happens:

	; wm/wm
	attachscreen: can't mount window manager: bad rectangle in attach
	wm: cannot initialise display: initdisplay: /dev/draw/new: 
	; 

Where is the problem?
