>Description:

	The manpage for kbdcontrol is incomplete. It does not mention that
some commands only apply to /dev/console or the virtual terminals. It would
be useful to see an example along the lines of

	kbdcontrol -k /dev/ukbd0 < /dev/console

to show how to change the keyboard when in an xterm (or when using an automatic
changer line in usbd.conf).
