.TH KBD_MODE 1 __vendorversion__
|
||
|
|
.SH NAME
|
||
|
|
kbd_mode \- recover the PC console keyboard
|
||
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
.B kbd_mode
|
||
|
|
[ -a -u ]
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.I Kbd_mode
|
||
|
|
resets the PC console keyboard to a rational state.
|
||
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
The following options are supported:
|
||
|
|
.TP 8
|
||
|
|
.B \-a
|
||
|
|
Set the keyboard so that ASCII characters are read from the console.
|
||
|
|
.TP 8
|
||
|
|
.B \-u
|
||
|
|
Set the keyboard so that undecoded keyboard values are read from the
|
||
|
|
console.
|
||
|
|
.SH EXAMPLES
|
||
|
|
If the server crashes or otherwise fails to put the keyboard back in
|
||
|
|
ascii mode when it exits, it can leave your keyboard dead. If you are
|
||
|
|
able to login remotely, you can reset it typing:
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
kbd_mode -a
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
Conversely, changing the keyboard to ascii mode while the server is
|
||
|
|
running will make the keyboard appear to be dead while the the mouse
|
||
|
|
continues to work. Again, if you are able to login remotely, you can
|
||
|
|
reset it typing:
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
kbd_mode -u
|
||
|
|
.sp
|
||
|
|
|
