Plan 9 doesn't support multiple monitors currently, and I don't know
how rio would like having some weird shaped display if you're monitors
aren't all the same resolution.  Having applications support that
would be the hardest part I feel.

Also: You could totally add the support for what you want in drawterm.
I've added stuff I needed a few times and it's pretty easy to
understand and modify barring the normal unix bullshit.  Window size
and *proper* fullscreen shouldn't be hard.

I don't have a windows box handy; if I did I would try:

in gui-win32/screen.c change the calls to GetDeviceCaps
to SystemParametersInfo with SPI_GETWORKAREA parameter. something like:

RECT ds; // size of work area in primary display
if( SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETWORKAREA, 0, &ds, 0) ){
  dx = ds.right - ds.left;
  dy = ds.bottom - ds.top;
}

[9fans] Windows drawterm screen size

[a]

The Windows drawterm is pretty naive about screen
sizes: it doesn't take into account window size,
the stupid title bar, or multiple monitors. Inferno
has dealt with at least some of this. Does anyone
have a drawterm that deals with this better? Or has
anyone tried and run into issues?
