Since I a= lso updated the kernel from 12.1 to 12.2 (STABLE) I was unaware of the automatic use of EVDEV within the kernel, and a (apparently) recent change to the xorg-server behavior to always make use of EVDEV (and never use the legacy devices). As such I had not installed x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev in a previous rele= ase. The handbook did not seem to point out that the EVDEV driver needed to be installed (it did have some hints on sysctl vars and related things, which = did not work for me since the driver was not there). However, through some sleuthing, I figured it out and installed the EVDEV input driver manually.= =20 Then X11 started working properly. It occurs to me that there needs to be some kind of dependency for this dev= ice in kernels where the default kernel includes EVDEV support, since the xorg server will not work any more without it. And as it is a single port dependency, ir probably would not hurt to make it an option that is (by default) on so that packages also load the driver. uname information: FreeBSD hack.SFT.local 12.2-STABLE FreeBSD 12.2-STABLE r370671 GENERIC amd64 Ports collection: 2021Q4 (first time observed) (sorry if it's a bit wordy, this is really a non-critical bug that may be better solved by adding information to the handbook) --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
