problem with inferno graphics on Plan 9

Anyone saw something similar to this?

I just upgraded our inferno (in Plan 9), with the last version
from vitanuova. Now, wm/wm creates a new window but does NOT
draw anything (perhaps a missing flushimage?). Or is there something
obvious I'm missing?
The previous version for emu (from our dump) works perfectly.

This is the graphics set up at the machine in particular.

; cat /dev/vgactl
type vmware
size 1280x800x32 x8r8g8b8
blank time 30 idle 0 state on
hwaccel on
hwblank off
panning off
addr p 0xfa000000 v 0xe0000000 size 0xa8c000

This is the emu that does not draw at my machine:
; ; ; /usr/inferno/Plan9/386/bin/emu -v
Inferno Fourth Edition (20060303) main (pid=900) interp

This is the (old) one that does:
; ; /usr/inferno/Plan9/386/bin/emu -v
Inferno Fourth Edition (20040904) main (pid=896) interp

The Plan 9 system has not been update for one month (aprox), but
works fine.

problem with inferno graphics on Plan 9

Funny, compiling emu from source leads to
attachwindow: cannot handle window depth specifier    x8r8g8b8 
after running wm/wm

It seems that the initial x8 does not taste well for win.c

problem with inferno graphics on Plan 9: solved

Sorry about the noise.
Indeed, it was the "x8" in "x8r8g8b8" the problem.
Changing the source of /usr/inferno/emu/Plan9/win.c
so depthof() does:
		if(c != 'x' && c != 'r' && c != 'g' && c != 'b' && c != 'k' && c != 'm')
			return -1;

instead of
		if(c != 'r' && c != 'g' && c != 'b' && c != 'k' && c != 'm')
			return -1;

just seems to solve the problem.
Perhaps I just introduced a bug in our inferno. But graphics seem to be ok.
Indeed, colors works.

thanks anyway

it doesn't appear at all in our current source.  it was not really needed.
i'll send you the current version to test.

Re: problem with inferno graphics on Plan 9: solved

Using such win.c, it works nicely. Thanks.
I wonder why win.c was old. Perhaps I made a mistake while upgrading, sic.

no, i see the changes were made a few weeks after the public release.

Any plan for a plugin for mozilla?

We are going to port the Plan B window system, omero, to Limbo.
The main reason is to use omero with the inferno IE plugin, and convert
all IEs into Plan B terminals. But I´m wondering if there are plans for
plugins for other browsers.

i've been thinking that an activex drawterm would make a nice gadget
for somethings.  but in any case, for windows environment most
browsers will allow embedding of activex components.  for linux, i
suppose adapting he activex interfaces of emu to something like xpcom
(mozilla's cross platform COM)

it would be nice if there was a mode where inferno app's windows were
individual windows in the native window manager.

font question

I just love the fonts used by charon, and would like to use them in Plan 9
and Plan B.

However, fontshow (in plan9) has some problems showing them. It seems that their
format differs. Anyone converted a font from Inferno to Plan 9?

thanks anyway
