Hello, @Guido I tried to rebuild the xorg-server but it stoped to recognize all input devices even on Xfce4, I think I'm missing something. Tried to rebuild the xf86-input-evdev too but didn't work either. Had to revert to the pkg version to be able to send this email @Ulf Rudolf <u.rudolf@web.de> Now knowing that the xorg-server is not recognizing any input devices after rebuild the latest version, I have a feeling that this problem is related, maybe the LightDM expects some specific device? My system is a Dell G3 2019 with: 12.1-RELEASE-p2 Mesa DRI Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630 (Coffeelake 3x8 GT2) Pkgs: - Xorg 7.7_3 - xorg-server 1.18.4_13,1 (hal is off in the description) - xfce 4.14 Ports: - drm-kmod-g20190710 Thank you, Mario Em ter., 10 de mar. de 2020 =C3=A0s 12:02, Guido Falsi <mad@madpilot.net> escreveu: > On 10/03/20 13:41, Mario Olofo wrote: > > Hello All, > > In the prccess of making the FreeBSD my main OS, I stumbled on an very > > uncommon problem: the LightDM don't accept any keys, and I can't even g= et > > out to the tty with ctrl+alt+F1... > > > > I build the drm-kmod from ports, installed Xorg, Xfce4 and LightDM and > > lightdm-gtk-greeter with pkg, and enabled it on rc.conf with > > lightdm_enable=3D"YES". > > On boot, it don't work because the lightdm need to be on video group, s= o > I > > added it to video groups and then the LightDM screen showed up, but onl= y > > the mouse work.
