Ah yes, for the record I am following the handbook: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/x11-wm.html Where it says "Unlike GNOME or KDE, Xfce does not provide its own login manager ..." >> While here, I am having trouble as both mouse and the keyboard stop >> working in X.

I had it working at a time but the up arrow key stopped working after the update. I then removed all the packages and started from scratch. > If that's the case the solution if installing xf86-input-evdev and > restarting Xorg. That was certainly missing but I might have missed some configuration, as it still doesn't work. I also lost the acceleration (ati-legacy) with the update.

I started using xorg-minimal which explains some missing stuff. Thanks anyways! Pedro.
