Still didn't work with the xorg-server installed by pkg. I considered building the port myself and disabling various options, but in my experience that's an enormous PITA and generally ends with great frustration and lots of hair pulling rather than a usable binary. It would be nice if there were versions of xorg-server with and without the dependency on libinput in the pkg repository, but that would simply increase the already high load on the servers and custodians. -- Gary Jennejohn
