I misinterpreted the level of support for the NSPlugin on the "unix"
platform. The code is all there for "vm-display-x11" but not for
"vm-display-quartz" or "vm-display-fbdev".
On a side note: It is quite interesting to see how those named primitives
form a group just by using the prefix "primitivePlugin". On the "win32"
platform, it is not an actual VM plugin but spread all over the place. :-D
Especially "sqWin32Exports.c" ... some "win32JoystickDebug" stuff is in
there, too. Looks a lot like "unix/vm/osExports.c"
Best,
