hilkbd —
HIL keyboard device
hilkbd* at hil?
wskbd* at hilkbd?
option HILKBD_LAYOUT=XXX
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”.
To set a Swedish keyboard mapping, use
wsconsctl
keyboard.encoding=sv. To set it at kernel build time, regardless of
what keyboard is plugged, add the following to the kernel configuration file:
option HILKBD_LAYOUT="KB_SV"
hil(4),
intro(4),
wskbd(4),
wsconsctl(8)
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.
