Message-ID: <20010427134212.689F8199ED@mail.cse.psu.edu> (raw)
Or, anyone want to change line 31 of
/sys/src/cmd/rio/fsys.c to
{ "screen", Qscreen, 0600 ),
and try the experiment?
It takes more than a chmod of a file to implement a driver. /dev/screen
is provided by rio; the write interface to the underlying /dev/draw is
provided through an RPC protocol, not direct data writes, which don't
match well to the 2-d quality of the data. /dev/screen could in principle
be writable but it will take changes to a lot more than line 31.
The absolute mouse position would be
determinable by adding the local position to the difference
in LLCs of /dev/screen and /dev/window;
False. The mouse position is always in absolute coordinates unless
the user program does extra work.
And as for the return value of main: enough already! The subject
isn't worth all this clutter in our mailboxes.
