.Nm kbdmux
.Nd "keyboard multiplexer"
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "device kbdmux"
.Pp
In
.Pa /boot/device.hints :
.Cd hint.kbdmux.0.disabled="1"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
keyboard driver provides support for basic keyboard multiplexing.
It is built around the idea of a
.Dq "super keyboard" .
The
.Nm
driver
acts as a master keyboard consuming input from all slave keyboards attached to
it.
.Pp
Slave keyboards can be attached to or detached from the
.Nm
keyboard driver with the
.Xr kbdcontrol 1
utility.
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr kbdcontrol 1 ,
.Xr atkbd 4 ,
.Xr syscons 4 ,
.Xr ukbd 4
.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm
module was implemented in
.Fx 6.0 .
.Sh AUTHORS
.An Maksim Yevmenkin Aq m_evmenkin@yahoo.com
.Sh CAVEATS
The
.Nm
keyboard driver switches all slave keyboards into
.Dv K_RAW
mode.
Thus all slave keyboards attached to the
.Nm
keyboard share the same state.
The
.Nm
keyboard is logically equivalent to one keyboard with lots of duplicated keys.
kbdmux(4) keyboard multiplexer integration o Add minimal kbdmux(4) man page to the source tree (more details to follow); o Hook up kbdmux(4) to the build. This concludes the first part of the kbdmux(4) keyboard multiplexer integration. It now should be possible to use kbdmux(4), however one must configure kbdmux(4) by hand (i.e. load kbdmux(4) module and use kbdcontrol(1) to add/remove slave keyboards to/from kbdmux(4)).
