- <para>Does &os; support my USB keyboard?</para>

- <answer>
- <para>&os; supports USB keyboards out-of-the-box. Once you
- have USB keyboard support enabled on your system, the AT
- keyboard becomes <devicename>/dev/kbd0</devicename> and
- the USB keyboard becomes
- <devicename>/dev/kbd1</devicename>, if both are connected
- to the system. If there is the USB keyboard only, it will
- be <devicename>/dev/ukbd0</devicename>.</para>
-
- <para>If you want to use the USB keyboard in the console,
- you have to explicitly tell the console driver to use the
- existing USB keyboard. This can be done by running the
- following command as a part of system
- initialization.</para>
-
- <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd1 < /dev/console > /dev/null</userinput></screen>
-
- <para>Note that if the USB keyboard is the only keyboard, it
- is accessed as <devicename>/dev/ukbd0</devicename>, thus,
- the command should look like:</para>
-
- <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>kbdcontrol -k /dev/ukbd0 < /dev/console > /dev/null</userinput></screen>
-
- <note>
- <para>To make this change permanent across reboots, add
- <literal>keyboard="/dev/ukbd0"</literal> to
- <filename>/etc/rc.conf</filename>.</para>
- </note>
-
- <para>Once this is done, the USB keyboard should work in the
- X environment as well without any special settings.</para>
-
- <para>If you want to switch back to the default keyboard,
- use this command:</para>
-
- <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd0 > /dev/null</userinput></screen>
-
- <para>To allow using both the second USB keyboard and the
- first AT keyboard at the same time on a console via
- &man.kbdmux.4; driver type the following commands:</para>
-
- <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>kbdcontrol -K < /dev/console > /dev/null</userinput>
-&prompt.root; <userinput>kbdcontrol -a atkbd0 < /dev/kbdmux0 > /dev/null</userinput>
-&prompt.root; <userinput>kbdcontrol -a ukbd1 < /dev/kbdmux0 > /dev/null</userinput>
-&prompt.root; <userinput>kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbdmux0 < /dev/console > /dev/null</userinput></screen>

- <para>See the &man.ukbd.4;, &man.kbdcontrol.1; and
- &man.kbdmux.4; manual pages for more information.</para>
