     KBMODE(ADM)              XENIX System V               KBMODE(ADM)



     Name
          kbmode - Set keyboard mode or test keyboard support.

     Syntax
          kbmode command [ file ]

     Description
          This command can be used to determine if your system
          keyboard supports AT mode. If it does, this utility can
          change the keyboard mode between AT mode and PC/XT
          compatibility mode.

          If the file argument is specified, it should be a tty device
          of one of the multiscreens of the keyboard's group.

          Valid commands are:

               test - determine if keyboard supports AT mode

               at   - set keyboard to AT mode

               xt   - set keyboard to PC/XT compatibility mode

     Notes
          Some keyboards look like an AT keyboard but do not support
          AT mode. Setting such a keyboard to AT mode will render it
          useless, unless it can be set to XT mode from another
          (serial) terminal.
