Maybe I should state my case more clearly, cause I'm
confused about what you mean with setting up X on a
sparc box.

VICE is already ported to unix, this includes
sparc-linux, sparc-sunos, sparc-solaris, sparc-netbsd,
so for those platforms I don't need any help.

The platform I have ported VICE to is
i386-lucent-plan9, with X11 running on plan9, however,
I can't seem to get X11 started on my plan9 test
machine.

So the thing I am confused about is what you mean by
setting up X on your sparc box, if you are trying to
say that that is X11 on sparc-lucent-plan9 then I'll
need to send you a source tar ball. If you're saying
you can somehow emulate i386-lucent-plan9 on your
sparc box then I'll need to send you the binary tar
ball.

If however you are talking about something completely
different then I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to
clarify what you mean.

Rio was running on my system but it still gavce the
same error, it finally occured to me that /dev/draw
might be locked or something, so I did

disk/kfscmd allow
disk/ksync

and after doing that X11 was able to start up.

My port didn't work though, so it will need alot more
work to get it working, whgich I plan to do somewhere
in the future.

Thanx for all your help.

As soon as I do this I get :

Fatal server error:

Cannot open /dev/draw/new
last plan 9 error:

> then in another window:
> 
> % DISPLAY=:0
> % ape/X11/twm

Since X11 doesn't even start up the above won't do
anything either.

Hiya,

I'm one of the currently active developers of the VICE
emulator package, this package emulates 8-bit cbm
computers (c64, c128, cbm-2, plus4, vic20, pet), and
is located at http://www.viceteam.org

I've made the needed changes to VICE to make it
compile for Plan9, it is done by using the X11
distribution for Plan9.

The test platform I'm using is Plan9 inside vmware,
but I'm not able to start X11 to test VICE, whenever I
use startx I get the error that it cannot open
/dev/draw/new.

Is there any-1 willing to help me by giving me
instructions on how to start X11, or any-1 that has
X11 running on Plan9 willing to test the package for
me ?

Signed, Marco van den Heuvel.
