ATKBDC(4)              FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual              ATKBDC(4)

NAME

     atkbdc - the AT keyboard controller interface

SYNOPSIS

     options KBD_RESETDELAY=N
     options KBD_MAXWAIT=N
     options KBD_DELAY1=N
     options KBD_DELAY2=N
     options KBDIO_DEBUG=N
     device atkbdc

     In /boot/device.hints:
     hint.atkbdc.0.at="isa"
     hint.atkbdc.0.port="0x060"

DESCRIPTION

     The keyboard controller atkbdc provides I/O services for the AT keyboard
     and PS/2 mouse style pointing devices.  This controller is required for
     the keyboard driver atkbd and the PS/2 pointing device driver psm.

     There can be only one atkbdc device configured in the system.

DRIVER CONFIGURATION

Kernel Configuration Options

     The following kernel configuration options can be used to control the
     atkbdc driver.  They may be set in the kernel configuration file (see
     config(8)).

     KBD_RESETDELAY=X, KBD_MAXWAIT=Y
            The keyboard driver atkbd and the pointing device driver psm may
            ask the atkbdc driver to reset these devices during the boot
            process.  It sometimes takes a long time before these devices
            respond to the reset command.  These options control how long the
            atkbdc driver should wait before eventually giving up -- the
            driver will wait X * Y msecs at most.  If the drivers seem unable
            to detect devices, you may want to increase these values.  The
            default values are 200 msec for X and 5 for Y.

     KBD_DELAY1=X, KBD_DELAY2=Y
            DELAY1 sets the initial key repeat delay to X.  The default value
            is 500ms.  DELAY2 sets the key repeat delay to Y.  The default
            value is 100ms.

     KBDIO_DEBUG=N
            Sets the debug level to N.  The default value is zero, which
            suppresses all debugging output.

HISTORY

     The atkbdc driver first appeared in FreeBSD 3.1.  It is based on the
     kbdio module in FreeBSD 2.2.
