But is there any less tedious way of adding multi monitor setup to plan9? Maybe it will be exciting for someone who has never had any expirience with vga drivers development(at least at the begining.). Can you recommend some materials that can allow me start with vga drivers development in general and specifically to plan9 (other than source codes)? Maybe some of you can tell me more about that? I've decided to look at plan9 becouse after a rough estimation of existing OS I find it best designed and most interesting. I don't know much about OS implementation but I think that this community can be the perfect place to start. I will certainly ask a lot of stupid questions at the beginnig but eventually you can bring up a new generation of developers :). Would you like to help me or the project doesn't need such persons like me? BR, Szymon
