kbmode(ADM)
kbmode --
set keyboard mode or test keyboard support
Syntax
/etc/kbmode command [ file ]
Description
This command can be used to determine if your system keyboard
supports AT mode. If it does, this utility can change the keyboard
mode between AT mode and PC/XT compatibility mode.
If the file argument is specified, it should be a tty
device of one of the multiscreens of the keyboard's group.
Valid commands are:
test-
determine if keyboard supports AT mode
at-
set keyboard to AT mode
xt-
set keyboard to PC/XT compatibility mode
Limitations
Some keyboards look like an AT keyboard but do not support
AT mode. Setting such a keyboard to AT mode will render it
useless, unless it can be set to XT mode from another (serial)
terminal.
