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.
