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