KBDMUX(4)		    Kernel Interfaces Manual		     KBDMUX(4)

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	multi-
       plexing.	 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.

SEE ALSO
       kbdcontrol(1), atkbd(4),	syscons(4), ukbd(4), vt(4)

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.
