NAME

kbdmux - keyboard multiplexer

SYNOPSIS

device kbdmux

In /boot/device.hints hint.kbdmux.0.disabled=1

DESCRIPTION

The keyboard driver provides support for basic keyboard multiplexing. It is built around the idea of a ``super keyboard'' The driver acts as a master keyboard consuming input from all slave keyboards attached to it.

Slave keyboards can be attached to or detached from the keyboard driver with the kbdcontrol(1) utility.

SEE ALSO

kbdcontrol(1), atkbd(4), syscons(4), ukbd(4)

CAVEATS

The keyboard driver switches all slave keyboards into K_RAW mode. Thus all slave keyboards attached to the keyboard share the same state. The keyboard is logically equivalent to one keyboard with lots of duplicated keys.

HISTORY

The module was implemented in Fx 6.0 .
