Exactly, the x11 iso predates fossil. I am sure this was discussed a fairly recently, fbg rembembers the answer, if you google comp.os.plan9 you should find some hints. the x11 port offers only 8 bit pixmaps to the clients so all images must be remapped to the physical displays depth in the server, so its slow on 16bit and 32bit displays. This said it does work though annoyingly some programs refuse to cooperate with 8bit displays, most notably firefox ☹ If you are interested, the port consists of a single file (brazil.c from memory) and I for one would find a new port that supports 16 and 32 bit displays very useful. Also beware, recompiling X11 from scratch takes a 20 or 30 times as long as compiling the plan9 kernel. -Steve
