https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=295839 Bug ID: 295839 Summary: Keyboard remains in K_RAW mode after being detached from kbdmux Product: Base System Version: 15.1-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: freebsd-bugs2@wesha.name When a new USB keyboard is connected to the system, kbdmux innediately grabs it and switches into K_RAW mode: ----------------kbdmux.c------------------------ case KBADDKBD: /* add keyboard to the mux */ [.............] mode = K_RAW; error = kbdd_ioctl(k->kbd, KDSKBMODE, (caddr_t)&mode); [.............] ------------------------------------------------ However, when the user detaches that keyboard from kbdmux by doing kbdcontrol -A hkbd0 < /dev/kbdmux0 kbdmux does not switch that keyboard to "normal" mode; it remains in K_RAW mode and cannot be used normally. One use case for this is one computer used by 2 people, each with their own keyboard and monitor. Another is devices that present themselves as HID keyboards, one such example being a barcode scanner. Desired behavior: * Option 1: upon detaching the keyboard from kbdmux, it is returned into "normal" mode; * Option 2: add capability to switch a keyboard into the desired mode to kbdcontrol utility. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
