Hello, I configured the full system with pkg and only build the drm-kmod. I downloaded the img from the 12.0 stable version, don't know when or why it become release for me =3DX The pkg was downloaded the first time I used it, so I don't know what can be wrong with it. May you point me some link to understand better how to see if i'm in stable/release and how to migrate from quarter to latest? I'll see if I'm in latest and reinstall all with pkg Thank you, Mario Em qua., 11 de mar. de 2020 =C3=A0s 12:24, Guido Falsi <mad@madpilot.net> escreveu: > On 11/03/20 02:20, Mario Olofo wrote: > > Hello, > > > > @Guido > > I tried to rebuild the xorg-server but it stoped to recognize all input > > devices even on Xfce4, I think I'm missing something. > > Tried to rebuild the xf86-input-evdev too but didn't work either. > > Had to revert to the pkg version to be able to send this email > > Before these rebuilds were you using packages? from quarterly or latest? > > AFAIK mixing packages and locally built packages isn't really supported. > I works most of the time, but there are no warranties.
