Guilty as charged.  There is a cute "easter egg" in the splash screen.  
Tested to work on aarch64/arm64 and riscv64.

I neglected to mention that different hardware+OS has different bindings 
for /dev/input devices.

Use evtest to find out which gets mouse & keyboard inputs.

You can then set values in the shell bindings (e.g. in .bashrc) and not 
have to pass them as startup parameters to the VM.

E.g.

##FrameBuffer wants: (test with evtest)
export SQUEAK_VM=display-fbdev
export SQUEAK_FBDEV=/dev/fb0
export SQUEAK_MSDEV=/dev/input/event3
export SQUEAK_KBDEV=/dev/input/event4

HTH,
