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"

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.
