Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-x11 (Nobody) <x11@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 273537: x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics: should default to EVDEV enabl= ed on FreeBSD 15 https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D273537 --- Description --- Currently, x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics defaults to EVDEV off on FreeBSD 15-CURRENT due to its Makefile lacking the line like following: OPTIONS_DEFAULT_FreeBSD_15=3D EVDEV resulting the package cannot be used out-of-the-box. Typical /var/log/Xorg.0.log will look like: [ 14.514] (EE) synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Synaptics driver unable to detect protocol In my opinion, however, it's better to default to EVDEV enabled regardless = of OSREL as long as the OPSYS is FreeBSD because: * All supported versions of FreeBSD will need this anyway nowadays. * We don't have to worry about FreeBSD 16, which will appear 2 or maybe 3 years later.
