28.Dt UKBD 4
29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm ukbd
32.Nd USB keyboard driver
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34To compile this driver into the kernel,
35place the following line in your
36kernel configuration file:
37.Bd -ragged -offset indent
38.Cd "device ukbd"
39.Cd "device hid"
40.Cd "device usb"
41.Ed
42.Pp
43Alternatively, to load the driver as a
44module at boot time, place the following line in
45.Xr loader.conf 5 :
46.Bd -literal -offset indent
47ukbd_load="YES"
48.Ed
49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50The
51.Nm
52driver provides support for keyboards that attach to the USB port.
53.Xr usb 4
54and one of
55.Xr uhci 4
56or
57.Xr ohci 4
58must be configured in the kernel as well.
59.Sh CONFIGURATION
60By default, the keyboard subsystem does not create the appropriate devices yet.
61Make sure you reconfigure your kernel with the following option in the kernel
62config file:
63.Pp
64.Dl "options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV"
65.Pp
66If both an AT keyboard USB keyboards are used at the same time, the
67AT keyboard will appear as
68.Pa kbd0
69in
70.Pa /dev .
71The USB keyboards will be
72.Pa kbd1 , kbd2 ,
73etc.
74You can see some information about the keyboard with the following command:
75.Pp
76.Dl "kbdcontrol -i < /dev/kbd1"
77.Pp
78or load a keymap with
79.Pp
80.Dl "kbdcontrol -l keymaps/pt.iso < /dev/kbd1"
81.Pp
82See
83.Xr kbdcontrol 1
84for more possible options.
85.Pp
86You can swap console keyboards by using the command
87.Pp
88.Dl "kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1"
89.Pp
90From this point on, the first USB keyboard will be the keyboard
91to be used by the console.
92.Pp
93If you want to use a USB keyboard as your default and not use an AT keyboard at
94all, you will have to remove the
95.Cd "device atkbd"
96line from the kernel configuration file.
97Because of the device initialization order,
98the USB keyboard will be detected
99.Em after
100the console driver
101initializes itself and you have to explicitly tell the console
102driver to use the existence of the USB keyboard.
103This can be done in
104one of the following two ways.
105.Pp
106Run the following command as a part of system initialization:
107.Pp
108.Dl "kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd0 < /dev/ttyv0 > /dev/null"
109.Pp
110(Note that as the USB keyboard is the only keyboard, it is accessed as
111.Pa /dev/kbd0 )
112or otherwise tell the console driver to periodically look for a
113keyboard by setting a flag in the kernel configuration file:
114.Pp
115.Dl "device sc0 at isa? flags 0x100"
116.Pp
117With the above flag, the console driver will try to detect any
118keyboard in the system if it did not detect one while it was
119initialized at boot time.
120.Sh DRIVER CONFIGURATION
121.D1 Cd "options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV"
122.Pp
123Make the keyboards available through a character device in
124.Pa /dev .
125.Pp
126.D1 Cd options UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP
127.D1 Cd makeoptions UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP=fr.iso
128.Pp
129The above lines will put the French ISO keymap in the ukbd driver.
130You can specify any keymap in
131.Pa /usr/share/syscons/keymaps
132or
133.Pa /usr/share/vt/keymaps
134(depending on the console driver being used) with this option.
135.Pp
136.D1 Cd "options KBD_DISABLE_KEYMAP_LOADING"
137.Pp
138Do not allow the user to change the keymap.
139Note that these options also affect the AT keyboard driver,
140.Xr atkbd 4 .
141.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
142The following variables are available as both
143.Xr sysctl 8
144variables and
145.Xr loader 8
146tunables:
147.Bl -tag -width indent
148.It Va hw.usb.ukbd.debug
149Debug output level, where 0 is debugging disabled and larger values increase
150debug message verbosity.
151Default is 0.
152.El
153.Sh FILES
154.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /dev/kbd*" -compact
155.It Pa /dev/kbd*
156blocking device nodes
157.El
158.Sh EXAMPLES
159.D1 Cd "device ukbd"
160.Pp
161Add the
162.Nm
163driver to the kernel.
