Description Jon Passki 2003-05-06 16:00:30 UTC 
	Inconsistent information between GENERIC and atkbd(4)
	The manual page states the driver installs if the keyboard is present (flag bit 0 not set), but GENERIC has the flag bit set to 0x1. 

	Also, LINT and GENERIC show different settings.  atkbd(4) seems to reference LINT on line 39 (.Cd "device atkbd").  A grep shows the difference:

/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC:device           atkbd0  at atkbdc? irq 1 flags 0x1
/sys/i386/conf/LINT:device              atkbd0  at atkbdc? irq 1

	I am not too familiar with the manpage macros, so I do not know if the manpage is referencing LINT, hence this may be an incorrect statement.

How-To-Repeat: 	Read GENERIC and atkbd(4) :-)

The manpage is correct and it doesn't document a particular kernel config 
such as GENERIC.  "By default" means when device flags aren't set. 

Also, in today's 7.0-CURRENT, both i386 and amd64 GENERIC kernels don't 
have this flag set.
