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 multiplex-
     ing.  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.

FreeBSD ports 15.quarterly	  July 12, 2005 		       KBDMUX(4)
