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.
