Subject: [9fans] Equis - coming soon...
Date: Sun,  4 May 2008 13:36:32 -0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <62d56aeef8a5a536f3bcfc2ef9162356@yourdomain.dom> (raw)

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.
