Depending on your kernel konfiguration, there may be two options: First, the kbdmux component should enable all detected keyboards to work "in parallel", so switching from one to another is not needed, especially if one of them doesn't even exist. A typical situation is when an AT keyboard (PS/2 keyboard connector) and a USB keyboard (USB connector) are present. Then, there's the kbdcontrol program that allows switching key- boards. This program can be called by devd to perform the required action when the USB keyboard is present (or not present). As I don't own any BT hardware, I can't be more specific on how this kind of keyboard will be represented to the OS, sorry. See "man kbdmux" and "man kbdcontrol" for details. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
