31.Sh NAME
32.Nm pckbc
33.Nd PC (ISA) keyboard controller driver
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Cd "pckbc* at isa? flags 0x00           " Pq "alpha, amd64, i386, loongson"
36.Cd "pckbc* at ebus?                     " Pq "sparc64"
37.Cd "pckbd* at pckbc?"
38.Cd "pms*   at pckbc?"
39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40The
41.Nm
42driver handles resource allocation and device attachment for the
43traditional PC/AT keyboard controller.
44It provides two logical connections for child devices, the
45.Dq keyboard
46slot for a keyboard and the
47.Dq auxiliary
48slot for mice (the latter might be missing in older keyboard controllers).
49.\" .Pp
50.\" The optional
51.\" .Dq slot
52.\" locator argument can be used to force unusual connections of devices to
53.\" logical slots.
54.\" This feature is for experimentation only, it will not be
55.\" useful in normal operation.
56.Pp
57To avoid attaching a phantom PS/2 keyboard device, the
58.Nm
59driver will attempt to detect USB legacy keyboard emulation on amd64 and i386
60systems.
61Unfortunately, the detection heuristics may fail on older systems with a real
62PS/2 keyboard.
63The keyboard can be forced to attach on these systems, by changing the
64device flags to 1.
