Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-x11 mailing li= st <x11@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 246261: x11-servers/xorg-server: 1.18.4 -> 1.20.8, no keyboard & mouse, config/hal: couldn't initialise context https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D246261 --- Description --- FreeBSD 11.4/stable. xorg-server-1.2.8,1. Xorg.0.log shows this: [ 62574.196] (EE) config/hal: couldn't initialise context: unknown error (n= ull) And there's no keyboard or mouse. Rebuilding xorg-server with --disable-config-hal fixes that. Is there any reason we don't just always use --disable-config-hal these day= s?=20 I suspect r526589 should have probably left --disable-config-hal instead of allowing the configure script to use the default auto-detect mechanism (some ports still depend on sysutils/hal, so if hal is installed, it will get tur= ned on for xorg-server). Maybe restore it as a default-off option, but that would be backwards progr= ess. Also running hald fixes that as well, although that was not necessary for 1.18.4 (with HAL off), probably because HAL=3Doff explicitly set --disable-config-hal. The attached patch explicitly sets --disable-config-hal. I don't think a PORTREVISION bump is necessary (poudriere-built pkgs will get built without= hal support since xorg-server does not currently pull in ports that depend on h= al), but it could help for users (possibly just non-evdev 11.x users?) who built from ports.
