[9fans] plan9port mac mouse clicks in qemu

Hi all, I have been working on Plan 9 mainly under qemu on my Mac. I missed the ability to use acme on the Mac trackpad, so I ported the plan9port click modifier code to the Plan 9 kernel. The old "shift swaps middle and right button" is still in effect, but now "option+click is button2, command+c

Re: [9fans] plan9port changes to rc and acme

if you need to synchronise two streams you could timestamp them. the timestams need not be realtime they could be just an unsigned event number. applications can then match up the timestamps if they need to. i am not saying this is a perfect solution, but its an alternative approach. -Steve

Re: [9fans] plan9port changes to rc and acme

Years ago I built an Remote Procedure Call library that used 9p as the wire protocol. It handled event 'callbacks' by sending read requests to opened virtual files well ahead of time and treating the eventual Rread replies as events. As soon as it got an event it would send another Tread. Perha

This is a problem that can happen with any keyboard input; if I press 'A' and click, this problem can also happen. Fixing this would probably need merging both event streams into one /dev/input or similar. Quoth Alyssa M via 9fans <9fans@9fans.net>: > If mouse click events are queued and the keyb

Re: [9fans] plan9port changes to rc and acme

If mouse click events are queued and the keyboard modifier state changes are not (or are queued separately), they can get out of step. By the time the program receives a mouse click event, the keyboard may be unshifted again. This could happen if a program is late processing mouse input. ---

Re: [9fans] plan9port : complete system : kernel : freebsd || linux ?

What do you mean by "a complete, installable system for plan9ports"? If you mean one that uses p9p in place of gnu utils, that's something I've thought about trying to do before, but I'd suggest taking it one step further and seeing if you could use a 9p root filesystem and see how far you can tak

Re: [9fans] plan9port : complete system : kernel : freebsd || linux ?

I think it is uninteresting: one can always install plan9port in a meager installation of openbsd, freebsd or linux. More interesting is to have the original plan9 and perhaps a virtual machine on it to run one of the above OS and their software. Unfortunately I am having problems installing p

How soon would you start needing some form of support back-up? It's a little random around these places, which is why promises are hard to keep. Lucio.

[9fans] plan9port : complete system : kernel : freebsd || linux ?

i had been trying to work with a collaborator to develop a complete, installable system for plan9port. while initially being quite gung-ho about linux, an accidental discovery and ensuing experiements show the freebsd environment to be a lot more performant and responsive, almost as much as netbsd

Re: [9fans] plan9port-dev

i think they only specify few rules (apart from generally never doing what i need) like "don't be evil". OTOH "don't be an ass" seems not to be one of their concerns.

Re: [9fans] plan9port rendering garbled

Look into hinting and subpixel hinting modes of Freetype2. For different people different combinations of modes (full, medium, slight, none for hinting; 0/1/2 for subpixel hinting) give optimal results. Hinting is usually set via symlinks under /etc/fonts/conf.d/ to what's available under /et
