Dear Hackers,
kbdmux(4) is now fully integrated into HEAD and RELENG_6. please give it
a try and let us know if you have any problems.
there is one more cosmetic change that i'd like to get in. please take a
look at the following patch
http://people.freebsd.org/~emax/kbdmux-etc.diff.txt
(freefall:~emax/kbdmux-etc.diff.txt)
the idea is to add new 'setkeyboard' method to the /etc/rc.d/syscons. it
accepts the keyboard device name (i.e. /dev/kbd0). this method will do
nothing is kbdmux(4) is the current active keyboard, otherwise it will
switch active keyboard as requested. the ukbd(4) entries in the
/etc/devd.conf are modified to use /etc/rc.d/syscons and new
'setkeyboard' method. basically, imo, this should make it consistent for
both kbdmux and non-kbdmux cases.
thanks,
max
