Dear Hackers, this is just a quick headsup on kbdmux(4). as of now it has been committed to both HEAD and RELENG_6 (much thanks to re_at_ for turning this around quickly). kbdcontrol(1) utility was enhanced and now knows how to add/remove keyboards to/from kbdmux(4). kbdmux(4) was _not_ made the default yet. there are still a few unsolved issues: 1) using kbdmux(4) with atkbd(4) and psm(4) mouse sometimes locks up my system (Dell laptop). so far i was not able to track it down. for now i just use ums(4) mouse. 2) using kbdmux(4) with atkbd(4) and ukbd(4) sometimes lead to keyboard state corruption. the easiest way to reproduce this is to hit keys on both keyboards really fast in xterm. switching between X/console fixes the keyboard state. 3) kbdmux(4) fails The Warner test. <quote> Press control on kbd0 Press control on kbd1 C should produce ^C Release control on kbd0 D should produce ^D release control on kbd1 E should produce E. </quote> i will try to track these issues down and fix them. in the mean time please give kbdmux(4) a try (if you have interest/time/hardware). thanks, maxReceived on Thu Jul 21 2005 - 16:03:26 UTC
