Topicbox-Message-UUID: 8c94599c-ead6-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025 Hi, I am new to plan9 and I installed it on my laptop but wanted to use my 3 button usb mouse. It was not recognised at all, and when booting 9pcf kernel I noted #U (kapital U) printouts which I found out to indicate an old kernel. I also got some error messages for usb devices. After recompiling and copying the 9pcf kernel the usb mouse works just fine: cd /sys/src/9/pc mk 'CONF=pcf' cp 9pcf /386/ 9fat: cp 9pcf /n/9fat/ (I copied to both locations since I wasn't sure which one to use) Is there any reason for not using the new usb handling in the precompiled kernel? Regards Mikael
