I have a 2 button mouse, and I was using CTL+right button...
Seems like it is working everywhere - sam, rio... and even ACME ( except toolbars...?) 
It is really strange behavior...  Or I was really too tired ... :)

But SAM saved me from that....

Michael.

You are probably pressing the wrong button. To Plan 9, button 2 is the
"middle" mouse button not the right button (the usual "button 2" on, say,
Windows) which is likely a depressible wheel on your mouse.

USB add-in cards usually have OHCI host controllers, which Plan 9 does not
support out-of-the-box. The supported host controllers on Plan 9 are
EHCI/UHCI. Correct me if I am wrong on this one.

Assuming I am not wrong with that point, there must be some sort of
unofficial/contributed drivers for OHCI on Plan 9. Instructions on how to
install/configure them will be useful, I suppose.
