Not quite the same thing, although it could be used to fix marius' problem too. I will try to clarify what the possibilities are, because it can be confusing. In p9p, you usually have (in a X11 system): application <-> devdraw <-> X With devdrawserver (IIUC): app <-> devdrawserver <-(network)-> dialdevdraw <-> devdraw <-> X With 9p devdraw at https://bitbucket.org/yiyus/devwsys-prev/src/tip/util/9p-srv.c: app <-> devdraw <-> 9p files So, in order to use 9p devdraw, you would need a 9p file server providing the needed files. This can be done by rio(4) or cons(3), draw(3) and mouse(3) in a Plan 9 system (including 9vx) or by wsys(4). The complete picture using wsys would be: app <-> devdraw <-(9p)-> wsys <-> X Wsys and the 9p devdraw are a more general solution, but devdrawserver is more direct and - since it completely avoids 9p - much simpler. Another advantage of devdrawserver is the possibility to dettach and reattach to running programs. I was toying with the idea of such a file server for Plan 9 which could be used by rio and wsys. Although I never started to write the code I still think it would be very feasible. -- - yiyus || JGL .
