"kbd_mode" "" "\f3kbd_mode\f1(1) \(em keyboard translation utility" "" "keyboard" "trans" "keyboard" "translation utility \(em \f3kbd_mode\f1(1)" NAME
kbd_mode - change the keyboard translation mode
SYNOPSIS
kbd_mode -a | -n | -e | -u DESCRIPTION
"keyboard" "reset" "keyboard" "resetting input \(em \f3kbd_mode\f1(1)" "" kbd_mode sets the translation mode of the console's keyboard (\f3/dev/kbd\f1)
to one of the four values defined for
KIOCTRANS in
kb (7M) . This is useful when a program that resets the translation mode
terminates abnormally and fails to restore the original translation mode.
Note that the text console desires ASCII characters (\f3kbd_mode -a\f1), while Xorg (1) desires untranslated events (\f3kbd_mode -u\f1).
OPTIONS
-a ASCII: the keyboard will generate simple ASCII characters.
-n None: the keyboard will generate unencoded bytes - a distinct value for up and down on each switch on the keyboard.
-e Events: the keyboard will generate firm_events with ASCII characters in the value field.
-u Unencoded: the keyboard will generate input events with unencoded bytes in the value field such as those desired by the X server.
FILES
/dev/kbd
