[9fans] problem resizing windows in 1600x1200 with gforce 2

Hello

I have problems when resizing rio windows at 1600x1200x32
using a 32 MB Nvidia GForce 2. I can make big windows just
after start rio, but later i only can resize them to lower sizes.

just after start i can make a full screen window, but i cannot hide it,
only make it smaller. if i delete it and create a new one, this new one
cannot be the full screen size, it just isn't created, as if the mouse
event was never produced.

I'm on a cpu kernel ( not sure if that could be an issue).

any ideas if this can be "solved" ?

thanks

PD i didn't test vesa yet

the cpu kernel does not reserve as much memory for
the kernel, and so you are running out of kernel memory
in which to hold your windows.  try putting something like

*kernelpercent=40

in your plan9.ini

Hello

This didn't work (or it seems that).

i suppose the comment around /sys/src/9/pc/main.c:445 has something
to do with this :-?

i removed the condition but the line printing the memory status of
/sys/src/9/port/page.c
always give the kernel data 90 MB it doesn't matter what kernelpercent
value is. (it should change with kernelpercent? )

i will test again if i can hide/restore the big windows in a regular basis.

thanks
