.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This driver provides the
|
|
.Xr wscons 4
|
|
driver with support for Apple Desktop Bus keyboards.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To work around the limited number of buttons found on most ADB mice,
|
|
one can map key sequences to trigger mouse button events.
|
|
To map Option+1, Option+2, Option+3 to mouse buttons 1, 2, and 3
|
|
respectively, add the following line to your kernel configuration
|
|
file:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Cd "options ALTXBUTTONS"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
On macppc systems it is possible to tweak the keyboard driver
|
|
to treat the caps lock key on an ADB keyboard as a control key.
|
|
This requires special remapping because of ADB's strange emulation of
|
|
a mechanically-locked key. To enable this code add the following
|
|
line to your kernel configuration file:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Cd options CAPS_IS_CONTROL
|
|
.Pp
|
|
On macppc PowerBooks, several function keys double as "hot keys"
|
|
(brightness, volume, eject) when the Fn modifier is held down.
|
|
Mac OS X likes to reprogram the keyboard controller to send hot key
|
|
events when Fn is not held down and send function key events when it
|
|
is.
|
|
To transform the non-keyboard "button" events back into function key
|
|
events, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Cd options FORCE_FUNCTION_KEYS
|
|

|
key codes for many applications.

The LEDs on extended keyboards are not functional under
