Subject: atkbd: changing flags at boot time


[This is with FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE]

I would like to arrange that the ATA keyboard works even if the machine is
booted without a keyboard, but one is subsequently plugged in. My
understanding is that the default behaviour of probing for the keyboard is
set here in the kernel configuration:

device          atkbd0  at atkbdc? irq 1 flags 0x1
                                              ^^^
# `flags' for atkbd:
# 0x01 Force detection of keyboard, else we always assume a keyboard

So I tried putting
  hint.atkbd.0.flags="0x00"
in /boot/loader.conf, but that didn't make any difference.

Looking at sys/dev/kbd/atkbd.c, I see:

       /* XXX: a kludge to obtain the device configuration flags */
       if (resource_int_value("atkbd", ATKBD_DEFAULT, "flags", &i) == 0)
               flags |= i;

Does this mean that it's impossible to clear this flag without recompiling the
kernel? If so, is there a reason for this?

TIA,

Brian.
