x11-drivers.xf86-input-synaptics.with_option.patch

(In reply to Niclas Zeising from comment #1)
> Isn't it better to have xf86-input-synaptics not take priority over libinput?

Generally speaking, no. See commit message:
https://github.com/freedesktop/xorg-xf86-input-synaptics/commit/59e5db025307404fbfbc82f2fb3fe91d6a3005d7

What we have to do is make xf86-input-synaptics optional. Like requested in
PR/245948 

> In any case, this can't be enabled on all FreeBSD versions

Enabling evdev unconditionally does not disable psm.

> evdev and libinput isn't used on FreeBSD 11

Evdev can be enabled via kernel compile-time knobs on 11-STABLE.

If current version of patch looks too radical too you, there is more
conservative variant. EVDEV option is still here but it is enabled by default
on 12 and 13.
