     hilkbd - HIL keyboard driver

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     hilkbd* at hil? code ?
     wskbd* at hilkbd? console ?
     option HILKBD_LAYOUT=XXX

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     This driver supports  HIL  keyboards  within  the  wscons(4)
framework.  It
     doesn't provide direct device driver entry points, but makes
its functions
 available through the internal wskbd(4) interface.

     The hilkbd driver supports a number of  different  key  mappings.  By default,
  the  layout  corresponding  to the keyboard model as
probed by the
     hilkbd driver will be used.  A different layout can be  chosen either with
     the kernel option ``HILKBD_LAYOUT'' at compile time, or with
the
     wsconsctl(8) utility (variable: ``keyboard.encoding''  )  at
runtime.

     The supported key mappings are at this time:

     KB_DE   ( ``de'' ) German with ``dead accents''.

     KB_FR   ( ``fr'' ) French with ``dead accents''.

     KB_SV   ( ``sv'' ) Swedish.

     KB_UK   ( ``uk'' ) British.

     KB_US   ( ``us'' ) English / US keyboard mapping.

     The KB_DE mapping can be used in the KB_NODEAD ( ``.nodead''
) variant.
     This switches off the ``dead accents''.

EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]

     To  set  a  Swedish  keyboard  mapping,  use  wsconsctl   -w
keyboard.encoding=sv.
     To  set it at kernel build time, regardless of what keyboard
is plugged,
     add option HILKBD_LAYOUT="KB_SV" to the kernel configuration
file.

BUGS    [Toc]    [Back]

     The list of built-in mappings is incomplete and has grown as
people submitted
 information about their particular layout.

     The Swedish and British layout have been reconstructed  from
tables in the
     old  HIL  code  present in the hp300 port, and have not been
tested.
