# x9dev __*THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS*__ - this is still in the design phase, though some code exists; no draw calls have been written yet. x9dev is an x11 server which interacts with plan9's /dev filesystem. This started as a fork of http://plan9.stanleylieber.com/pkg/386/equis-2012.01.11.tbz ## Usage `x9dev [-u] [-s screen]` - `-u` creates a unique session - `-s screen` attaches to a named session `x9dev` is meant to be called via an external dial implementation. For example, with x9srv on a POSIX system `tlsclient 'tcp!192.168.1.2!17019' x9dev` ## Building Requires plan9port ```rc # currently this builds against xorg-server 1.20 git clone https://github.com/halfwit/x9dev mv x9dev /path/to/xorg-server-source/hw/ cd /path/to/xorg-server-source/ # Patch git apply -p1 meson.patch # Set up build system meson build meson configure build/ -Dbuild_x9dev=true # Here you'd also tune to your system, see `meson configure build/` for a list of tunable options # Build ninja -C build -j 8 # or however many processors you have install -m644 hw/x9dev /usr/local/bin/x9dev ``` ## Extensions There are currently no supported X11 extensions, though plans to implement them are in place.
