I upgraded xorg-server to version 1.20.8_2,1 today not from an active X session. and the keyboard and mouse stopped working. (Dealing with the monitor was easier: just upgrade xf86-video-vesa or xf86-video-scfb). Even after upgrading xf86-input-mouse and xf86-input-keyboard, they didn't work. So, I checked the log file '/var/log/Xorg.0.log', and found there the following text: [ 4546.466] (EE) config/devd: error 1 adding device /dev/uhid0 [ 4546.466] (II) config/devd: EVDEV_SUPPORT is enabled, ignoring device ukbd0 [ 4546.466] (II) config/devd: EVDEV_SUPPORT is enabled, ignoring device ums0 Ducked the message about "ums0" from my Lynx browser, and found that there is an "evdev" (event device) driver, and it was not installed on my machine. Searched it with 'pkg search evdev", and found that the relevant package/port name is 'xf86-input-evdev' (path to port: '/usr/ports/x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev'). Installed it. Now, the keyboard and mouse work. I think that installing the driver should be a part of installing/upgrading 'xorg', or at least a line about the driver should be added to the handbook.
