When I tried to start Xorg 1.20.11 today the mouse and keyboard didn't work. I have no idea why it all of a sudden worked yesterday but not today. I ran Xorg -version yesterday to verify that the new server was really running. Thanks to your shell script I found out that two libraries were missing, something which I would expect to be automatically taken care of by an update of xorg-server. So I installed them (thanks to pkg). I also changed kern.evdev.rcpt_mask to 6, as recommended by your fantastic script. Now xorg-server starts up successfully. Thanks for the help! -- Gary Jennejohn
