34.Dt UKBD 4
35.Os
36.Sh NAME
37.Nm ukbd
38.Nd USB keyboard driver
39.Sh SYNOPSIS
40.Cd "device ukbd"
41.Sh DESCRIPTION
42The
43.Nm
44driver provides support for keyboards that attach to the USB port.
45.Xr usb 4
46and one of
47.Xr uhci 4
48or
49.Xr ohci 4
50must be configured in the kernel as well.
51.Sh CONFIGURATION
52By default, the keyboard subsystem does not create the appropriate devices yet.
53Make sure you reconfigure your kernel with the following option in the kernel
54config file:
55.Pp
56.Dl "options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV"
57.Pp
58Go to
59.Pa /dev
60and make device nodes
61.Pa kbd* :
62.Pp
63.Dl "sh MAKEDEV kbd0 kbd1"
64.Pp
65If both an AT keyboard USB keyboards are used at the same time, the
66AT keyboard will appear as
67.Pa kbd0
68in
69.Pa /dev .
70The USB keyboards will be
71.Pa kbd1 , kbd2 ,
72etc.
73You can see some information about the keyboard with the following command:
74.Pp
75.Dl "kbdcontrol -i < /dev/kbd1"
76.Pp
77or load a keymap with
78.Pp
79.Dl "kbdcontrol -l keymaps/pt.iso < /dev/kbd1"
80.Pp
81See
82.Xr kbdcontrol 1
83for more possible options.
84.Pp
85You can swap console keyboards by using the command
86.Pp
87.Dl "kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1"
88.Pp
89From this point on, the first USB keyboard will be the keyboard
90to be used by the console.
91.Pp
92If you want to use a USB keyboard as your default and not use an AT keyboard at
93all, you will have to remove the
94.Cd "device atkbd"
95line from the kernel configuration file.
96Because of the device initialization order,
97the USB keyboard will be detected
98.Em after
99the console driver
100initializes itself and you have to explicitly tell the console
101driver to use the existence of the USB keyboard.  This can be done in
102one of the following two ways.
103.Pp
104Run the following command as a part of system initialization:
105.Pp
106.Dl "kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd0 < /dev/ttyv0 > /dev/null"
107.Pp
108(Note that as the USB keyboard is the only keyboard, it is accessed as
109.Pa /dev/kbd0 )
110or otherwise tell the console driver to periodically look for a
111keyboard by setting a flag in the kernel configuration file:
112.Pp
113.Dl "device sc0 at isa? flags 0x100"
114.Pp
115With the above flag, the console driver will try to detect any
116keyboard in the system if it did not detect one while it was
117initialized at boot time.
118.Sh DRIVER CONFIGURATION
119.D1 Cd "options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV"
120.Pp
121Make the keyboards available through a character device in
122.Pa /dev .
123.Pp
124.D1 Cd options UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP
125.D1 Cd makeoptions UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP=fr.iso
126.Pp
127The above lines will put the French ISO keymap in the ukbd driver.
128You can specify any keymap in
129.Pa /usr/share/syscons/keymaps
130with this option.
131.Pp
132.D1 Cd "options KBD_DISABLE_KEYMAP_LOADING"
133.Pp
134Do not allow the user to change the keymap.
135Note that these options also affect the AT keyboard driver,
136.Xr atkbd 4 .
137.Sh FILES
138.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /dev/kbd*" -compact
139.It Pa /dev/kbd*
140blocking device nodes
141.El
142.Sh EXAMPLES
143.D1 Cd "device ukbd"
144.Pp
145Add the
146.Nm
147driver to the kernel.
