29.Dt HILKBD 4
30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm hilkbd
33.Nd HIL keyboard device
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Cd "hilkbd* at hil?"
36.Cd "wskbd* at hilkbd?"
37.Pp
38.Cd "option HILKBD_LAYOUT=XXX"
39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40This driver supports HIL keyboards within the
41.Xr wscons 4
42framework.
43It doesn't provide direct device driver entry points, but makes its
44functions available through the internal
45.Xr wskbd 4
46interface.
47.Pp
48The
49.Nm
50driver supports a number of different key mappings.
51By default, the layout corresponding to the keyboard model as probed
52by the
53.Nm
54driver will be used.
55A different layout can be chosen either with the kernel option
56.Dq HILKBD_LAYOUT
57at compile time, or with the
58.Xr wsconsctl 8
59utility (variable:
60.Dq keyboard.encoding )
61at runtime.
62.Pp
63The supported key mappings are at this time:
64.Pp
65.Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact
66.It KB_DE
67.Pq de
68German with
69.Dq dead accents .
70.It KB_FR
71.Pq fr
72French with
73.Dq dead accents .
74.It KB_SV
75.Pq sv
76Swedish.
77.It KB_UK
78.Pq uk
79British.
80.It KB_US
81.Pq us
82English/US keyboard mapping.
83.El
84.Pp
85The KB_DE mapping can be used in the KB_NODEAD
86.Pq .nodead
87variant.
88This switches off the
89.Dq dead accents .
90.Sh EXAMPLES
91To set a Swedish keyboard mapping, use
92.Ic wsconsctl keyboard.encoding=sv .
93To set it at kernel build time, regardless of what keyboard is plugged, add
94the following to the kernel configuration file:
95.Bd -literal -offset indent
96option HILKBD_LAYOUT="KB_SV"
97.Ed
98.Sh SEE ALSO
99.Xr hil 4 ,
100.Xr intro 4 ,
101.Xr wskbd 4 ,
102.Xr wsconsctl 8
103.Sh BUGS
104The list of built-in mappings is incomplete and has grown as people submitted
105information about their particular layout.
106.Pp
107The Swedish and British layout have been reconstructed from tables in the old
108HIL code present in the hp300 port, and have not been tested.
