On my laptop I have a Plan 9 partition and Linux partition. When I
boot the Plan9 partition natively, everything is fine. When I try to
boot the Plan9 partition from within qemu a few things mess up, but
the one I can't seem to fix is the mouse. The mouse goes all crazy,
jumping around and eventually banishing itself offscreen. I've tried
all sorts of variations of commands sent to mousectl, but none of them
seem to fix it. I don't remembering having this problem when I boot
Plan 9 images installed within qemu. Anybody else run into this or
have any ideas on how to fix?

you probably need to set mouseport=ps2
instead of mouseport=ps2intellimouse in plan9.ini.
or something like that -- plan 9 and qemu certainly
disagree about what the protocol is.

i've seen that effect recently with a ps/2 mouse under plan 9 proper.
i haven't narrowed it down.

mouseport is ps2, I'll try and free up some cycles to dig into it this
week and see if I can figure out what's going on.
