hi, i just read that the rio in plan9port doesn't behave completely like the rio in plan 9 because of problems inherent in x11/xorg.
could someone who understands x11/xorg well enough to have worked on developing or enhancing rio under plan9ports please communicate with keith packard? he's the god of x, and should be able to advise on a solution either directly or as a work-around. best, ~mayuresh
