Ergonomics is a successful sales pitch, after all.
Yes, Plan 9 should have kept it succinct and simply
employed that as a (marketing) buzzword.

let record show that these aren't marketable

Just noticed this mail.
Did you try with usb/kb ?
Does it have problems handling your mouse?
In general, usbstart should do the thing for you.

you mention the touchpad - I guess this is a ps2 device rather than a usb one
(though I may be wrong). You should be able to start that using
mouse=ps2 in your plan9.ini.

The mouse is a usb one for sure.
I believe the kernel is with USB, but how can I say for sure?

Try to see if you can list #U
If you can't that's the problem.
You also need kbin. Perhaps looking at /dev/drivers is easier to see
if you have both.
If you can you might run USB/kb by hand to see if that works.

I don't -- that part was automagic.

Looking in the /dev/drivers file I again can see #U.
Try running it with debug enabled. Also. Sorry. Mouse does not require kbin.

personally, i agree it makes the button 2 menu too long. i'd remove

That is a good suggestion. Look, Prev and Next would all be useful

Hello all,
Subject says it all; as my first port I did libogg and libvorbis.
I did it mainly as a learning exercise, so it's far from perfect, but

I have not tried the encoder, but the decoder seems to be
There are two ac97 drivers written independently, I believe there

That's great.
There's also the celt codec, which has low delay and a quality which

I thought about it, but can't port it.

Well, for anyone who is interested, I recently gave a talk about Plan
9 at a meeting of the Society of Software Engineers at RIT, and the
slides and a video are up at

There's probably not much in there for people who are already using
Plan 9, but
2d menus won't work if there are more than, say, 4 or 6 options.
I learned that after experimenting with omero and olive.
They can be more convenient than regular menus, but you must still
limit the number of options.

Yes, it is more about the number of options than
anything else.
Ever seen desktop menus on FVWM, XFCE,
etc.? Disgusting -- and overly complex.
In Plan 9, we like keeping just the essentials,
but then the problem is that the essentials are
different for everyone else and their mothers.
It turns
