doing things to 9vx seems like a bad idea compared to just having a p9p server with the /mouse and /mousectl for the magic mouse, and then mounting that in your 9vx /dev. same thing applies to drawterm, inferno, and probably glendix, which together with 9vx and p9p is your entire aviary with one projectile. so you detect whether it's drawterm or 9vx, and set root = /mnt/term or '#Z' respectively and you mount $root/tmp/ns.$USER.$DISPLAY/mouse. a linux way to get $USER and $DISPLAY is cat $root/proc/self/env | tr '\0' '\n' | grep, dunno if that works in OSX but whatever. stu
