Hi,

I'm suffering a Plan9 installation on a Medion laptop (one of those sold
buy Aldi, a german retail store).  Two problems:

1.- The Realtek 8139/810X is not recognized. I tried other drivers
with no success.
2.- The installation screen comes all right at 1024x768x32 with NVIDIA
but I can see two mouse pointers close one another in the usual
position, left upper margin. I tried playing with plan9.ini parameters,
ioexclude etc. but I can't isolate PS/2 from serial COM1 and
touchpad. The joke is I can move the mouse, a three-button Logitech
connected at PS/2 or COM1 (and also the touchpad), and the three buttons
work !!, only I can't see the cursor moving. It (they) remain at the
initial up left position. I reviewed the code at /sys/src/libdraw,
/sys/src/cmd/aux/mouse.c  and went through man mouse, man graphics and
the archives but got no ideas.

Any suggestion would be welcomed. I hate thinking the laptop will remain
with XP
