[9fans] Question on Rio

Hi,

I have a list of graphics questions that I hope you can answer.  I am
very much a newbie.

1.  Does rio use OpenGL?
         Can it take advantage of 3D accelerated video cards?
         Does it do compositing?
2.  Does (can) drawterm multiplex windows so you see multiple windows
from different places?
3.  Is plumb somehow able to accellerate video?  Or is that completely
not used?

Thanks,

Vlad

> 1.  Does rio use OpenGL?

You're really asking about the graphics implementation,
which in Plan 9 is actually separate from the window system.
But no.

No, not 3D.

Yes, but not using hw acceleration.

No.  You get one drawterm window that's a desktop in one place.
Of course that desktop might have windows showing other places,
just like when you run drawterm that window isn't showing your
local machine.

The plumber has nothing to do with video.
