            Bug ID: 273537
           Summary: x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics: should default to
                    EVDEV enabled on FreeBSD 15
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: x11@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: taku@tackymt.homeip.net
             Flags: maintainer-feedback?(x11@FreeBSD.org)
          Assignee: x11@FreeBSD.org

Currently, x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics defaults to EVDEV off on FreeBSD
15-CURRENT due to its Makefile lacking the line like following:

OPTIONS_DEFAULT_FreeBSD_15=     EVDEV

resulting the package cannot be used out-of-the-box.

Typical /var/log/Xorg.0.log will look like:

[    14.514] (EE) synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Synaptics driver
unable to detect protocol


In my opinion, however, it's better to default to EVDEV enabled regardless of
OSREL as long as the OPSYS is FreeBSD because:

  * All supported versions of FreeBSD will need this anyway nowadays.
  * We don't have to worry about FreeBSD 16, which will appear 2 or maybe
    3 years later.
