Hi, all.
The wheel of all USB mice I purchased in the last year is not managed by
Plan9. All of them work
perfectly with FreeBSD and Windows. No problem with Plan9 using the PS/2
interface + adaptor,
but notebooks have only USB ports.
The products on the (italian) marketplace change frequently. To try
different models/brands is not a
solution.
Is this problem solvable configuring usb and/or mouse or I have to
patch the "kb" code ?
Thanks in advance.
adriano

This requires changing ptrwork() in kb.c
The wheel works for some mice I have, and is
reported by |0x80 or |0x10 in said function.
It might be your mice reports the wheel in some
other way.
You might just add a print to see what bytes your
mouse sends. (bytes given by robustread to ptrwork()).
Shouldn't be hard to fix.
