That's about it. Acme isn't doing anything particularly interesting, either: just a directory window and a "win" window open. > it could be a problem with usb, but maybe it's just a plain old > interrupt problem. if you have *nomp=1 in you plan9.ini, > you could try removing it. that's a bit of a wild guess, but I don't have "*nomp=1" in plan9.ini, but I am running the 9atom kernel you gave me. :) When it boots, it outputs the message "nomp: no mp structure". In case it's relevant, the built-in mouse (the belly button style thing) is enabled. Whether I move the USB mouse or the built-in one, the cursor moves appropriately. That's actually kind of handy, as it saves me from having to move my hand to the USB mouse to do a quick text selection while typing. Now, if only the mouse had space, backspace, tab, enter, and arrow keys on it, I'd be all set! -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ |E-Mail: smiley@zenzebra.mv.com PGP key ID: BC549F8B| |Fingerprint: 9329 DB4A 30F5 6EDA D2BA 3489 DAB7 555A BC54 9F8B| +---------------------------------------------------------------+
