Lemme summarize the email thread... He wasn't sure if setting the rcpt_mask fixed it, or adding xf86-input-libinput-0.30.0_1 and xf86-input-evdev-2.10.6_6 ports. He got here by adding a number of ports and having a FreeBSD 13 -> 14 ABI forced upgrade. I think that there's nothing obvious in his setup that we could fix. Warner --00000000000054754405c72e5860--
