After updating to FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT #119 main-n280607-942916a548ab 
(based on commit 56e01d0d7e0f7c2129c05467ca99d5f5538f52bc in main 
branch, post-stabweek tag), the USB regression is gone and the desktop 
is working properly again. This might also be related to having upgraded 
packages to the native ABI, since 16.0-CURRENT packages have only 
recently become available.
