hmm.  if the usb mouse works, yet plan 9 is not running
usb/usbd (have you checked), it may be that your bios has
put your usb in legacy mode and either won't or hasn't been
asked to let go.

if you are running usbd and usb/kb, then this could happen
if you are mixing #U and tools for #U (the old usb device)
and #u and tools for #u.

your man page problem sounds like you've damaged your local fs.
consider a pull to update.
