What are you running plan 9 on? The mouse shouldn't cause that to happen. IBM ThinkPad T23, PIII, 1100 MHz, P9 4e straight from the ISO. Moving the mouse (USB) generates about 1000 -c/s and about 1300 -s/s. before you've run anything but stats? that's interesting. it could be a problem

I regularly build kernels and full bins for arm on 9vx. the biggest issue with osx is when you install 9vx on a case-insenstive file system: things like /bin/Kill and /bin/kill don't quite work out. ron

Fortunately you can build a case-insensitive file system on a mac, within a file. Disk Utility lets you make a filesystem in a file, and you can click case-sensitive. Big win, and though you have to size the FS ahead, it's also nice to have my 9vx install all in one disk file for moving to other

Hello 9fans, I am using refer in the regime when references look like 'Hoh65a' instead of numbers (like [1], [2], ...). However, refer adds that trailing 'a' which I don't like (basically I have no two references from the same author from the same year, but still I have those 'a's everywhere...).

would a better solution be a modification to 9vx to allow it to generate virtual disks in a file. Then you could start fossil/kfs/cwfs/pacfs/other in plan9 and have the same functionality and the ability to have the filesystem work exactly like plan9 - permissions, dates, append only files etc.
