.Os FreeBSD
.Sh NAME
.Nm atkbd
.Nd
the AT keyboard interface
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "device atkbd0 at isa? tty irq 1"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver, together with the
.Nm atkbdc
driver, provides access to the AT 84 keyboard or the AT enhanced keyboard
which is connected to the AT keyboard controller.
.Pp
This driver is required for the console drivers
.Xr syscons 4
and
.Xr pcvt 4 .
.Pp
There can be only one
.Nm
device defined in the kernel configuration file. This device also
requires the
.Nm atkbdc
keyboard controller to be present.
The
.Em irq
number must always be 1; there is no provision of changing the number.
.Sh DRIVER CONFIGURATION
.\".Ss Kernel Configuration Options
.Ss Driver Flags
The
.Nm
driver accepts the following driver flags. They can be set either in the
kernel configuration file
.Pq see Xr config 8 ,
or else in the User Configuration Menu at boot time
.Pq see Xr boot 8 .
.Bl -tag -width FAIL
.It bit 0 (FAIL_IF_NO_KBD)
By default the
.Nm
driver will install even if a keyboard is not actually connected to the
system.
This option prevents the driver from being installed in this situation.
.It bit 1 (NO_RESET)
When this option is given, the
.Nm
driver will not reset the keyboard when initializing it.
It may be useful for laptop computers whose function keys
have special functions and these functions are forgotten when the
keyboard is reset.
.It bit 2 (ALT_SCANCODESET)
Certain keyboards, such as those on some ThinkPad models, behave
like the old XT keyboard and require this option.
