DESCRIPTION
Thekbdmux
keyboard driver provides support for basic
keyboard multiplexing. 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
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.
It was imported into DragonFly 2.3.
