Described in bug 220562. Support udev for autoconfiguration of input devives. Described in bug 222609 (that's Greg's patch). Links to patches: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=184182 https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=186724 (Re-)install xorg-server after patching: cd /usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server make deinstall make config # select UDEV as the autoconfiguration backend make reinstall clean cat >/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-myinput.conf <<EOF Section "InputClass" Identifier "libinput keyboard catchall" MatchIsKeyboard "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "libinput" Option "XkbRules" "evdev" EndSection Section "InputClass" Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall" MatchIsTouchpad "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "libinput" Option "MiddleEmulation" "on" Option "DisableWhileTyping" "off" EndSection EOF (second part only if you don't want three mouse buttons on the touchpad) You can check most of these settings by doing: # sysctl kern.features.evdev_support kern.features.evdev_support: 1 # sysctl kern.evdev.rcpt_mask kern.evdev.rcpt_mask: 12 # pkg info -R xorg-server | grep UDEV UDEV = "on"; Hope that helps.
