So when I say something absolutely absurd on the list, people take it
seriously? I've got to work on my sense of humor here.
Another student I spoke to on IRC spoke of the possibility of
bootstrapping LLVM for Plan 9 on Linux and getting it to run natively.
That would give us a whole bunch of different compilers.

I've got a laptop that I (for shits and giggles) decided to put Plan 9
on. Lo and behold, it worked fine (Compal EL80, Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM,
nVidia video).
So, I'm running at 1280x1024x32 right now in VESA, which is
reasonable, but I'd like to run at my maximum native resolution, which
is 1680x1050
Thanks for all the tips, I'll see what I can get working (and perhaps
flesh out the wiki once it's working well, if it ends up being
different from what's already there).
--dho
Well, that ends up getting my screen to have a bunch of lines through
it, staggered -- so I'm not much better off than I was before. I'm
guessing that's an nVidia driver issue or something. If I had any idea
about video devices, I'd try to fix it, but I don't. I'll just live
with a bit low-res VESA

At least in FreeBSD, you can't sleep in an interrupt thread. I suppose
that's probably also the case in Plan 9 interrupt handlers, and this
would mitigate that situation.
