.Dd $Mdocdate: January 30 2011 $ .Dt AKBD 4 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm akbd .Nd Apple Keyboard Device .Sh SYNOPSIS .Cd "akbd* at adb?" .Cd "wskbd* at akbd? mux 1" .Cd "option AKBD_LAYOUT=XXX" .Sh DESCRIPTION This driver supports ADB keyboards within the .Xr wscons 4 console framework. It doesn't provide direct device driver entry points but makes its functions available via the internal .Xr wskbd 4 interface.

p The following is a partial list of supported .Tn AKBD devices: d -filled -offset indent l -item -compact t Apple Standard Keyboard t Apple Extended Keyboard t Apple Keyboard II t Apple PowerBook Keyboard t Apple Adjustable Keyboard t Apple PowerBook extended Keyboard t Apple PowerBook G3 Keyboard t Apple PowerBook G4 Keyboard t Apple iBook Keyboard t .El .Ed

p The .Nm driver supports a number of different key mappings which can be chosen from with the kernel option .Dq AKBD_LAYOUT at compile time or with the utility .Xr wsconsctl 8 (variable: .Dq keyboard.encoding ) at runtime. Other mappings can be used if the whole keymap is replaced by means of .Xr wsconsctl 8 . The built-in mappings are at this time:

p l -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact t KB_DE

q de German with .Dq dead accents . t KB_ES

q es Spanish. t KB_FR

q fr French. t KB_JP

q jp Japanese. t KB_PT

q pt Portuguese. t KB_SF

q sf Swiss French with .Dq dead accents . t KB_SG

q sg Swiss German with .Dq dead accents . t KB_SV

q sv Swedish with .Dq dead accents . t KB_UK

q uk British. t KB_US

q us English/US keyboard mapping (default). .El

p The KB_DE, KB_FR, KB_SG and KB_SV mappings can be used in the KB_NODEAD

q .nodead variant. This switches off the .Dq dead accents . .Sh EXAMPLES To set a German keyboard layout without .Dq dead accents , use c wsconsctl keyboard.encoding=de.nodead . To set it at kernel build time, add the following to the kernel configuration file: d -literal -offset indent option AKBD_LAYOUT="KB_DE|KB_NODEAD" .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr adb 4 , .Xr intro 4 , .Xr ukbd 4 , .Xr wskbd 4 , .Xr wsconsctl 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm interface first appeared in .Nx 0.9 . It has been under development ever since. .Sh AUTHORS .An -nosplit .An Bradley A. Grantham wrote the original .Nm driver, including the MRG support. The hardware direct interface was written by .An John P. Wittkowski . .Sh BUGS The list of built-in mappings doesn't follow any logic. It grew as people submitted what they needed.
