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".  kbdmux 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), pcvt(4), syscons(4), ukbd(4)

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.

HISTORY
     The kbdmux module was implemented in FreeBSD 6.0.
