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 keyboard multiplexing. It is built around the idea of a
“super keyboard”. The
kbdmux
driver acts as a master keyboard consuming input from all slave keyboards
attached to it.
Slave keyboards can be attached to or detached from the
kbdmux keyboard driver with the
kbdcontrol(1) utility.

HISTORY¶
The
kbdmux module was implemented in
FreeBSD 6.0.

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.
