I have most of the X11 libs ported to Plan 9, so I can compile things like
xeyes, of course I don't have an Xserver, yet...

I'd built an SDL kdrive X server, but as soon as a client connects it crashes
I thought it was SDL port's fault, so I built Xvfb which does everything in
a virtual framebuffer and had the same problem, so it's not SDL's fault.

my guess is that the problem is between X and ape's select/listen/etc.

now, the question is why do I want X, well...

there you have opera and Xvnc under linuxemu and a vncv(1) window
to display everything. so, yes I have opera on Plan 9 (thanks to cinap)
but it's kinda overkill.

if anyone wants to help with the debugging , mail me off list

oh, and about limbo on Plan 9, of course that there is a native limbo
compiler for Plan 9, you'll have to to run your .dis inside limbo, 
but that's not problem at all, because inferno doesn't waste your
memory.
