I have new system H/W running FreeBSD 14.0-STABLE (from January 4th)
and I have x11/Xorg running successfully on an AMD Radeon WX 3200
graphics card.

The configuration for my keyboard on this new system is as follows:

  Section "InputClass"
        Identifier      "Keyboard0"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        Driver          "libinput"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "Chicony PFU-65 USB Keyboard"
  EndSection

The keyboard works just fine, but the arrow keys do not work.

I have these ports installed:

xorg-7.7_3
xorg-server-21.1.11_1,1
libinput-1.25.0
xf86-input-libinput-1.3.0

On an older FreeBSD 13.2-STABLE system (with the same ports installed)
the same keyboard works just fine and the arrow keys respond as well.

The configuration for my keyboard on the older system is as follows:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier              "KeyboardDefaults"
        MatchIsKeyboard         "on"
        Option                  "XkbModel"      "Chicony PFU-65 USB Keyboard"
EndSection

Note the lack of any "Driver" keyword.  I assume it is using the "kbd" driver.

I can supply contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log files if necessary.

I would like my arrow keys to work on the new system.  Can anyone help me out?

Thank you in advance.
