ARCKBD(4)           NetBSD/acorn26 Kernel Interfaces Manual          ARCKBD(4)

NAME
     arckbd, arcwskbd, arcwsmouse -- Archimedes keyboard/mouse driver

SYNOPSIS
     arckbd0         at ioc0 bank 0 offset 0x04
     arcwskbd0       at arckbd0
     wskbd0          at arcwskbd0
     arcwsmouse0     at arckbd0
     wsmouse0        at arcwsmouse0

DESCRIPTION
     The arckbd driver controls the keyboard on systems supported by
     NetBSD/acorn26 and interfaces it to the wscons system.  All communication
     between user programs and the arckbd driver goes through the wskbd and
     wsmouse drivers.

     Because of the architecture of wscons, it is impossible to have a device
     at which both wskbd and wsmouse devices attach.  The arckbd driver works
     around this by having dummy arcwskbd and arcwsmouse drivers which inter-
     pose between itself and the wscons drivers.

SEE ALSO
     wscons(4), wskbd(4), wsmouse(4)

BUGS
     The arckbd driver is capable of determining the layout of the keyboard,
     and noticing when it changes (if a different keyboard is connected, for
     instance), but doesn't know how to pass this information on to wscons.
