kbdmux(4)
NAME
kbdmux - keyboard multiplexer
SYNOPSIS
device kbdmux
In /boot/device.hints:
hint.kbdmux.0.disabled="1"
DESCRIPTION
- The kbdmux keyboard driver provides support for basic key
- board multiplexing. It is built around the idea of a ``super keyboard''.
- kbdmux acts
as a master keyboard consuming input from all slave key - boards attached to
it. - Slave keyboards can be attached to or detached from the
- kbdmux keyboard
driver with the kbdcontrol(1) utility.
SEE ALSO
kbdcontrol(1), atkbd(4), pcvt(4), syscons(4), ukbd(4)
CAVEATS
- The kbdmux keyboard driver switches all slave keyboards into
- K_RAW mode.
Thus all slave keyboards attached to the kbdmux keyboard - share the same
state. The kbdmux keyboard is logically equivalent to one - keyboard with
lots of duplicated keys.
HISTORY
The kbdmux module was implemented in FreeBSD 6.0.
