ATKBDC(4)		    Kernel Interfaces Manual		     ATKBDC(4)

NAME
       atkbdc -- the AT	keyboard controller interface

SYNOPSIS
       options KBD_RESETDELAY=N
       options KBD_MAXWAIT=N
       options KBDIO_DEBUG=N
       device atkbdc

       In /boot/device.hints:
       hint.atkbdc.0.at="isa"
       hint.atkbdc.0.port="0x060"

DESCRIPTION
       The  keyboard  controller  atkbdc provides I/O services for the AT key-
       board and PS/2 mouse style pointing devices.  This  controller  is  re-
       quired  for the keyboard	driver atkbd and the PS/2 pointing device dri-
       ver psm.

       There can be only one atkbdc device configured in the system.

DRIVER CONFIGURATION
   Kernel Configuration	Options
       The following kernel configuration options can be used to  control  the
       atkbdc  driver.	 They may be set in the	kernel configuration file (see
       config(8)).

       KBD_RESETDELAY=X, KBD_MAXWAIT=Y
	      The keyboard driver atkbd	and the	pointing device	driver psm may
	      ask the atkbdc driver to reset these  devices  during  the  boot
	      process.	 It  sometimes	takes a	long time before these devices
	      respond to the reset command.  These options  control  how  long
	      the atkbdc driver	should wait before eventually giving up	-- the
	      driver  will  wait X * Y msecs at	most.  If the drivers seem un-
	      able to detect devices, you may want to increase	these  values.
	      The default values are 200 msec for X and	5 for Y.

       KBDIO_DEBUG=N
	      Sets  the	 debug	level  to N.  The default value	is zero, which
	      suppresses all debugging output.

HISTORY
       The atkbdc driver first appeared	in FreeBSD 3.1.	 It is	based  on  the
       kbdio module in FreeBSD 2.2.
