I got it sorted.. the program was mistakenly thinking there
were constant window resizes. the flicker is now solved.
There is still some issue where the keyboard processing
is sometimes getting stuck during startup... when it
works, it seems to work well, but it usually fails on startup..
more debugging.

I have ported the original Blit pads to use the Plan9

test programs running under plan9port. Are you struggling with
how to translate 'bitblt' and 'rectf' into Plan9 equivalents?

I got the 9front blit sources to build and run in
plan9port. There's
some serious graphics issue right now causing a lot of flicker and
sometimes causing the graphics to not appear at all.. Anyone here
good with plan9port graphics ports?

Has the Blit emulator been ported to anything
other than Plan 9 or
does one need to set up a VM running Plan 9 to test out the graphics?

This image is ready to be used with aiju's
Blit emulator,
which is available as part of 9front.
http://code.9front.org/hg/plan9front/file/tip/sys/src/games/blit
This emulator works on most Plan 9 distributions. You just
have to copy the /sys/lib/blit and /sys/src/games/blit
directories to your system.
With the v8.ini startup file provided, the console will be
listening on port 8888/tcp once SIMH has been started.
You have to run the emulator and connect to the console:
% cd /sys/src/games/blit
% mk install
% games/blit -t tcp!hostname!8888
Once connected, enter your login and password.
login: root
Then, you can launch the mux window system:
$ /usr/blit/bin/mux
Once started, you can run any graphical program.
Binaries are located in the /usr/blit/bin directory.
For example, here is jim text editor:
