NAME

     kbdmux -- keyboard multiplexer

SYNOPSIS

     device kbdmux

     In /boot/device.hints:
     hint.kbdmux.0.disabled="1"

DESCRIPTION

     The kbdmux keyboard driver provides support for basic keyboard multiplexing.  It is built around the idea of a ``super keyboard''.  The
     kbdmux driver acts as a master keyboard consuming input from all slave keyboards attached to it.

     Slave keyboards can be attached to or detached from the kbdmux keyboard driver with the kbdcontrol(1) utility.

SEE ALSO

     kbdcontrol(1), atkbd(4), syscons(4), ukbd(4)

CAVEATS

     The kbdmux keyboard driver switches all slave keyboards into K_RAW mode.  Thus all slave keyboards attached to the kbdmux keyboard share the
     same state.  The kbdmux keyboard is logically equivalent to one keyboard with lots of duplicated keys.

HISTORY

     The kbdmux module was implemented in FreeBSD 6.0.

BTHIDD(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						 BTHIDD(8)

NAME

     bthidd -- Bluetooth HID daemon

SYNOPSIS

     bthidd -h
     bthidd [-a BD_ADDR] [-c file] [-H file] [-p file] [-t val]

DESCRIPTION

     The bthidd daemon handles remote Bluetooth HID devices.

     The options are as follows:

     -a BD_ADDR
	     Specify the local address to listen on.  By default, the server will listen on ANY address.  The address can be specified as BD_ADDR
	     or name.  If a name was specified, the bthidd daemon will attempt to resolve the name via bt_gethostbyname(3).

     -c file
	     Specify path to the configuration file.  The default path is /etc/bluetooth/bthidd.conf.

     -d      Do not detach from the controlling terminal, i.e., run in foreground.

     -H file
	     Specify path to the known HIDs file.  The default path is /var/db/bthidd.hids.

     -h      Display usage message and exit.

     -p file
	     Specify path to the PID file.  The default path is /var/run/bthidd.pid.

     -t val  Specify client rescan interval in seconds.  The bthidd daemon will periodically scan for newly configured Bluetooth HID devices or
	     disconnected ``passive'' Bluetooth HID devices and will attempt to establish an outgoing connection.  The default rescan interval is
	     10 seconds.

KNOWN LIMITATIONS

     The bthidd daemon currently does not handle key auto repeat and double click mouse events.  Those events work under X(7) just fine, but not
     in text console.

     This manual page needs more work.	A manual page documenting the format of the /etc/bluetooth/bthidd.conf configuration file is needed as
     well.

FILES

     /etc/bluetooth/bthidd.conf

CAVEATS

     Any Bluetooth HID device that has HUP_KEYBOARD or HUP_CONSUMER entries in its descriptor is considered as ``keyboard''.  For each
     ``keyboard'' Bluetooth HID device, the bthidd daemon will use a separate instance of the virtual keyboard interface vkbd(4).  Therefore the
     kbdmux(4) driver must be used to properly multiplex input from multiple keyboards.
