https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D259410 --- Comment #2 from Bob Frazier <bobf@mrp3.com> --- (In reply to Niclas Zeising from comment #1) > Was there a specific issue that was solved by installing xf86-input-evdev? yes. when I upgraded the OS to 12.2-STABLE and then re-installed all ports using 2021Q4 the xorg-server would not recognize the keyboard or mouse any more. I did notice that xorg-drivers had not been reconfigured and so the driver = for xf86-input-evdev was not enabled in the config (I enabled it). Whether thi= s is the case for a totally fresh install I do not know, but it would seem to me that this information should at least be in the handbook since the default kernel now includes EVDEV but the previous ones did not. The behavior chan= ged and it was confusing to figure out how to fix it. So if it is not possible (or is already the case) for xf86-input-evdev to be selected (or simply included) by default for kernels newer than 12.1 (or th= at specifically hae EVDEV compiled in) then there really needs to be something about this in the handbook to avoid this kind of confusion, am I right? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
