Hi all, It seems like there's been a lot of churn in X lately, so I have a few questions about the current state of play for input devices. Apologies in advance for the barrage. :) I notice that the handbook (https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/x-config.html) doesn't mention dbus or hald, so are they not needed any more? Is everything meant to be handled automatically through devd? Should I remove the hald_enable line from /etc/rc.conf? dbus_enable? How does evdev/webcamd fit into the picture? I see that devd is starting an instances webcamd for my touchpad and touchscreen, but when I install xf86-input-evdev, it does funny things to my keyboard input. Should X be able to detect input devices under /dev/input automatically, or do I need to explicitly configure them? I think that I need an explicit driver config for my drm-next setup, so does that mean that I also need to create explicit ServerLayout, Screen, Keyboard, Mouse, etc., files in /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d? In sum... how is this all meant to fit together? Thanks, Jon -- jonathan@FreeBSD.org
