LKKBD(4)	       OpenBSD Programmer's Manual (VAX)	      LKKBD(4)

NAME
     lkkbd - LK200/LK400 keyboard driver

SYNOPSIS
     lkkbd0 at dz0 line 0  (VAXstation)
     lkkbd0 at qsc0 line 2 (VXT2000)
     wskbd* at lkkbd?
     option LKKBD_LAYOUT=XXX

DESCRIPTION
     The lkkbd driver provides support for DEC LK201 and LK401 keyboards
     connected to dz(4) or qsc(4) serial controllers within the wscons(4)
     framework.

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

	   KB_DE   (de) German with ``dead accents''.
	   KB_FR   (fr) French.
	   KB_PT   (pt) Portuguese.
	   KB_US   (us) English/US keyboard mapping (default).

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

EXAMPLES
     To set a French keyboard layout, use wsconsctl keyboard.encoding=fr.  To
     set it at kernel build time, add the following to the kernel
     configuration file:

	   option LKKBD_LAYOUT="KB_FR"

SEE ALSO
     dz(4), intro(4), qsc(4), wscons(4), wskbd(4), wsconsctl(8)

CAVEATS
     The LK-201 keyboard does not have a ``Meta'' or ``Alt'' key.  For
     convenience, OpenBSD handles the ``Compose'' key as an ``Alt'' key,
     unless the ``Shift'' key is pressed as well.

     LK-401 keyboards have two ``Alt'' keys and two ``Compose'' keys, and do
     not exhibit this particular behaviour.
