xorg log file

Hello
with the change to udev in freebsd 12.1 and xorg/x11-server
I can't set the touchpad to work. at all
I managed to use libinput and edev as driver and both of them pick my Touch pad
as Mouse.
No tap to click and no edge scrolling.

libinput WORKED UNDER FREEBSD 11. (tab to click worked)
 I have hal  and dbus installed and set startup configuration.
{xf86-input}-libinput/synaptics/evdev is installed.
configs are in /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
FreeBSD SJD 12.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE r354233 GENERIC  amd64


hw.psm.synaptics_support="1" is in /boot/loader.conf


with libinput driver and device driver in xorg.cond.d as /dev/input/event* I
get mouse with no tap to click from my touchpad but if I specifically mention
/dev/input/event3 then nothing changes from the touchpad problem and still we
have the mouse as a touchpad but then any keyboard let it be the laptop
keyboard or any usb external keyboard then arrow key don't work.
from froum post mentioning the tip "Remove" the driver from the config file"
then evdev would pickup my input devices but again no touchpad but a mouse
instead of touchpad. (no tap to click)
if I put libinput as driver in conf file inside /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
and use /dev/input/event* for driver in Section InputClass then I get libinput
as my driver but the libinput settings won't get applied as in
