[9fans] USB keyboard/mouse

[Rodolfo kix Garci­a]

Hi,

I am trying to use a Logitech USB Keyboard+Mouse in Plan 9. The keyboard
is running in the bios, but when Plan 9 is starting the keyboard is not
responding. I can't select where is the root partition (hit enter).

Any help?

Thanks.

either
(a)	compile a kernel without usb support and use that, or

(b)	add usb/usbd and usb/kb to your startup scripts in
	termrc or cpurc.

There are some bios'es in which there is a third option: enable USB
emulation in the bios for PS/2 kb and mouse. Ugly, but it works.

 BIOSes have a tendency to disable that emulation when the OS starts
playing with USB itself, which I'd wager is why erik suggested
compiling a kernel without USB.

That mail was in my mailbox ... sorry. Yesterday I looked for the problem
and I didn't find the solution.

Thanks.
