Equis is the name I chose for my X server/port or however they call it.
Basically, I ported tons of xlibs and wrote the DDX (Device Dependant X)
part of the X for Plan 9, it supports 32 bits, some extensions, etc.
And yes, it's a lot faster than vncv to a Xvnc under linuxemu.

there is catch, I'm not being able to get the keyboard stuff right, basically getting
the structs right, this is what I'm using http://www.tip9ug.jp/who/fgb/keymap.h ,
in case anyone wants to give me a hand, I'm possitive that I must be doing
something really stupid, but I don't know what yet.
As soon as I get this right I'll put it on sources.

Congratulations! This is quite cool; I look forward to seeing a
contrib package for it :)
