NAME
hilkbd —
HIL keyboard device
SYNOPSIS
hilkbd* at hil?
wskbd* at hilkbd?
option HILKBD_LAYOUT=XXX
DESCRIPTION
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
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"

BUGS
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.
