WSKBD(4) | Kernel Interfaces Manual | WSKBD(4) |
The common keyboard support consists of:
The wskbd driver provides a number of ioctl functions to control key maps and other parameters. These functions are accessible though the associated “wsdisplay” device as well. A complete list is in /usr/include/dev/wscons/wsconsio.h. The wsconsctl(8) utility allows to access key maps and other variables.
The console locator in the configuration line refers to the device's use as input part of the operating system console. A device specification containing a positive value here will only match if the device is in use as system console. (The console device selection in early system startup is not influenced.) This way, the console device can be connected to a known wskbd device instance.
