Hi guys, I've had a little experience with plan9 via p9p - went to
try out the real thing today but ran into some issues.
I have a USB keyboard[1] and USB mouse[2]. My BIOS doesn't have any
explicit PS/2 emulation option for USB keyboards, but it does have a
"USB Keyboard support via" option for which I can select OS or BIOS. I
have it set to BIOS so that I can type stuff at the LILO prompt
(otherwise the keyboard is unresponsive until linux boots).
If I choose install when booting off the iso (which I downloaded 2
hours ago), rio loads up with three windows visible, the top one
suggesting that I go onto fsconfig, but I can't move the mouse or type
anything. The display isn't locked up - the graphs in the lower left
continue to update, but not even ctrl-alt-del gets a response so I
just have to hard reboot.
If I boot off the iso, it's a different story - the keyboard works
fine. I still can't get the mouse going, but I don't exactly know what
I'm doing - I just tried usb/usbd followed by usb/usbmouse with no
arguments (when that didn't help I tried "cat /dev/mousein", which
returned immediately...).
Any thoughts?
