[9fans] Hosted Inferno on Raspberry Pi

2012-08-02 Thread Graham Gallagher
The gcc flags: -march=armv6 -mfloat-abi=softfp -mfpu=vfp, will let you compile the standard Inferno emu-g on the Raspberry Pi first go. Not all the Linux VT interface ioctls are supported by the video driver so a little work is needed to incorporate the framebuffer device.

probably more a resolution thing than the cost of a multiplication. kernel gets only deltas at some fixed sample intervals where the mouse can do it for every encoder cycle. (no clue how its really done or with optical mice, touchpads or trackpoints...) but kernels software mouse acceleration wor

I've fixed that in /n/sources/contrib/forsyth/refer.tgz but you'll need to re-run pubindex as well, because mkey had its own idea about dates. On 2 August 2012 11:20, Rudolf Sykora wrote: > %A fantomas > %D 2001 > > %A fantomas > %D 2002 >

I did an ape port some tim,e ago, but I don know whether it has/has not this problem. You might check it out. Maybe you'll need to edit paths in mkfile. /n/sources/contrib/pac/sys/src/ape/cmd/txt/refer.tbz regards/ahoj Petr On Thu, Aug 2, 2012 at 12:20 PM, Rudolf Sykora wrote: > Hello, > > as I

Hello, as I bumped some time ago into the problem that refer only considers as dates (i.e. years) numbers starting with 19, but not 20, I want to ask whether someone has corrected this issue yet. [if you have two items %A fantomas %D 2001 %A fantomas %D 2002 refer in its today's shape will pro

[9fans] Mouse acceleration under Plan 9

2012-08-02 Thread Brian Vito
If you'll excuse another question from a non-programmer, does Plan 9 use a mouse pointer acceleration algorithm (if so, where would it be documented?) or is it 1:1? Thanks so much.
