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. > Can it take advantage of 3D accelerated video cards? No, not 3D. > Does it do compositing? Yes, but not using hw acceleration. > 2. Does (can) drawterm multiplex windows so you see multiple windows > from different places? 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. > 3. Is plumb somehow able to accellerate video? Or is that completely > not used? The plumber has nothing to do with video. Rus
