Ok, I've given it a look again and have managed to boot up in graphical mode - in vmware 4.5.1 with 128 mb ram.
Just look at the attached screenie.
The window moving lags a bit in vmware. Thats because all the while waking up a server via message passing and have it retrieve one message after the other *is* slow like hell. I've experienced that kind of stuff in my own micro kernel adventure too - so I've split up tasks.
The rectangle for the windowmoving leaves some artifacts on the screen. It isn't wild, just a bit disturbing.
The terminal window has some serious issue:
If you enter keys, the text control is not updated. you oughta issue some redraw or have the application redraw itself. I've revealed the typed text after moving the window - which caused it to be actualized.
Minimizing/maximizing/iconify didn't work. the one window with garbled contents is the result of my tries with the three icons in the upper right corner.
Stay safe - 'n have a spoonful of spice
