keyboard -- Technical Information How COHERENT handles the console keyboard COHERENT comes with two device drivers for the keyboard, as follows: vtkb Non-configurable driver vtnkb Configurable driver To change the keyboard driver you are using, or to modify the behavior of the driver vtnkb, log in as the superuser root and type: cd /etc/conf console/mkdev The script /etc/conf/console/mkdev walks you through the process of configuring your console: you can switch keyboard drivers from load to non- loadable (or vice-versa), change the number of virtual consoles you use, or change the keyboard-translation table you use by default. Once you have configured the console, type the following command: bin/idmkcoh -o /kernel_name where kernel_name is the what you wish to name the newly built kernel. This builds a new kernel that incorporates the changes you requested. To invoke these changes, simply reboot and invoke kernel kernel_name in the usual manner.
