[9fans] USB mouse

[G B]

I asked previously about disabling the touchpad for a Lenovo laptop, but I've 
changed things around.  I put FreeBSD on the Lenovo N580 and 9front on the 
Thinkpad T60.
 
The good news is I have WiFi working with 9front on the T60, but I can't get a 
USB mouse to work.  However, if I run Plan 9 from Bell Labs on the T60 a USB 
mouse works.
 
How can I get the USB mouse working?

I couldn't agree more. But does it help to repeat that refrain, here?
That could also be deemed time spent on a pointless pursuit. And so is
this discussion :-(

the point is there are more worthy things to do than to work around
shitty hardware or reproduce functionality that is already provided by
the bios in plan 9.

No argument, but a lot of time is being wasted all the time and 9fans,
perhaps with some notable exceptions, need to feel good as much as the
next person.

Let me know when you find one, or a stash, even better.

Come on, lighten up!

I don't want to waste anyone's time, but I do remember wishing I could have 
different settings for different pointing devices on the same laptop.  At the 
time, I had a bunch of Kensington mice which defaulted to some ridiculously 
overpowered DPI setting in Linux, FreeBSD, and Plan 9, (but not Windows or 
Mac,) but Plan 9 had no way to adjust them separately to the trackpoint.  It 
doesn't matter so much now most mice have a DPI button, but per-device settings 
could also allow individual devices to be set as ignored.

doing it in plan 9 would be a waste of time.
i don't know what's modern to you, but if you check the fqa you can
see 9front is working on many thinkpads, even including wifi.
