Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-x11 (Nobody) <x11@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 260565: x11-drivers/xorg-drivers: expand default selection by EVDEV https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D260565 --- Description --- FreeBSD 12.1 and up have evdev[4] in GENERIC (and MINIMAL). After compiling usual xorg stuff, I was astonished that neither mouse nor keyboard worked as they used to do for a long time: startx(1) was sufficien= t to get a minimalistic but working twm(1) session. There are multiple ways to alter xorg config to use mouse and keyboard, but since auto-detection was the supposed and working way to get started, I'd l= ike to propose including xf86-input-evdev by default in x11-drivers/xorg-driver= s, to make it working again with recent FreeBSD versions. -harry
