.Sh NAME
.Nm atkbdc
.Nd
the AT keyboard controller interface
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "options" \&"KBD_RESETDELAY=N\&"
.Cd "options" \&"KBD_MAXWAIT=N\&"
.Cd "options" \&"KBDIO_DEBUG=N\&"
.Cd "controller atkbdc0 at isa? port IO_KBD tty"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The keyboard controller
.Nm
provides I/O services for the AT keyboard and PS/2 mouse style
pointing devices.
This controller is required for the keyboard driver
.Nm atkbd
and the PS/2 pointing device driver
.Nm psm .
.Pp
There can be only one 
.Nm
device configured in the system.
.Sh DRIVER CONFIGURATION
.Ss Kernel Configuration Options
The following kernel configuration options can be used to control the
.Nm
driver.
They may be set in the kernel configuration file 
.Pq see Xr config 8 .
.Bl -tag -width MOUSE
.It Em KBD_RESETDELAY=X, KBD_MAXWAIT=Y
The keyboard driver
.Nm atkbd
and the pointing device driver
.Nm psm
may ask the
.Nm
driver to reset these devices during the boot process.
It sometimes takes a long time before these devices respond to
the reset command.
These options control how long the
.Nm
driver should
wait before eventually giving up -- the driver will wait
.Fa X
*
.Fa Y
msecs at most. If the drivers seem unable to detect 
devices, you may want to increase these values. The default values are
200 msec for 
.Fa X
and 5
for
.Fa Y .
.It Em KBDIO_DEBUG=N
Sets the debug level to 
.Fa N .
The default value is zero, which suppresses all debugging output.
