usbotg: ep5.0 error intr 0402 That's data toggle error. It seems the device isn't following the DATA0-DATA1 protocol. You're lucky - when I tried a mac keyboard, the pi just kept resetting. Does this keyboard work with (native) Plan 9 on any other machine?

Of course, maestro Richard Miller will no doubt help you figure this out properly, but by way of confirmation that it does all work... I have a Rev 1, RasPi 'B'. - with an el cheapo keyboard (deliberately no USB hub to keep the power requirement as low as possible as the Rev 1 is pretty miserly

Thanks for the pointers Richard. Let me also take the opportunity to thank you for your efforts on getting Plan 9 onto the Pi. I had come across that linked doc, but wasn't sure that was what I was looking for. I'll do a more thorough reading. One of the challenges I'm finding with my

Hey, many thanks for drawterm-cocoa! I was pleasantly 'shocked' to see this and it's at least part of the reason I was excited to try Plan 9 out (on my Raspberry Pi when it recently became available). Would it be possible to get cut/paste between drawterm and the Mac paste buffer? There might

Fantastic that you've already provided a 'cpu' kernel setup. In fact the 9pi distribution image is set up so that you can use it headless just by copying cmdline-cpu.txt to cmdline.txt and editing config.txt to change 'kernel=9pi' to 'kernel=9picpu'. You can then connect into it with the cpu

there is some of a port of plan9 to the g4 imac, done by David eachart (sp?) and his students. i believe it stalled when the intel macs where announced, however you could probably try to re-awaken it... check the Ports page of the wiki. -steve On 11 Dec 2012, at 09:36, Luke Evans

Finally (but not so importantly), has anyone considered some caching (as eg. mutt does)? Loading the 'plan9' folder from gmail takes well about a minute. the upas/fs in contrib quanstro/nupas does do caching. it was written become i had a few users with 500mb mailboxes, and since access was

I'm using a new-ish Apple keyboard here. It works well except that (a) about twice a day or so, the control née caps lock key misses a key up event (tapping it again solves it), and (b) the fn key (and therefore the things accessed by it) does nothing. I originally had all sorts of problems

No objections having been raised, I've submitted a patch (mousein-non-exclusive) to remove this restriction. Next, the same question about /dev/kbin - does that need to be exclusive open? I think not. Slightly more complicated, because kbin can receive a pair of inputs (escape + scancode) and

2012-12-11 Thread erik quanstrom
My proposal is to remove the exclusive open, and instead put a qlock around the loop which sends codes from kbin to kbd. or, keep a small structure, perhaps in the channel to keep track of these things. there's also a limitation where the same kbmap gets applied to all keyboards. - erik
