you need to look at xen a bit more. On IA64 platforms, xen can boot
unmodified kernel. There is vga bios and virtual graphics card happening
in xen. The issue is, how do we get Plan 9 to use it? Answer is, I don't
know, as this is in xen 3.0 and I am not looking at xen 3.0 until they
get done changing it. I already started one port to Xen 3.0 and had to
drop it, as Xen is rotating too fast for me ...
I am hoping that once Xen stops changing and 3.0 is released, we can
take a look at the graphics issue.
That said, I do like having drawterm for plan 9 and xen, since I can get
a rio desktop that spans two full 17" displays; nice.
