.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "device kbdmux"
|
|
.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 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.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
module was implemented in
|
|
.Fx 6.0 .
