What I see is a little different, however. First, when you look at the ser= ver code and the Xorg log you can see a couple of things. (log output) [390208.315] (II) config/devd: EVDEV_SUPPORT is enabled, ignoring device kbdmux0 [390208.315] (II) config/devd: EVDEV_SUPPORT is enabled, ignoring device ps= m0 [390208.315] (II) config/devd: EVDEV_SUPPORT is enabled, ignoring device sysmouse when you find those messages about EVDEV_SUPPORT in the X server code, you = can see a FreeBSD patch being applied patch-config_devd.c in that patch it has this section: + /* Skip legacy interfaces if EVDEV_SUPPORT is compiled into kernel = */ + if (evdev_support && hwtype->is_hybrid) { + LogMessage(X_INFO, "config/devd: EVDEV_SUPPORT is enabled, ignoring device %s\n", dev_name); + return; + } If I interpret this correctly, it seems that the latest FreeBSD patches deliberately avouid using kbdmux0, psm0, and sysmouse. Since the previous version of Xorg Server used these (on this same system), I never had a prob= lem NOT having the evdev driver. But this new thing appears to have been added within the last couple of years (my last ports collection were from 2020, version 1.18.4_12 - I could not find this block of code in the patch file). In any case, it was a behavior change, and could affect anyone doing an upg= rade from an earlier version of xorg-server without already having the evdev dri= ver installed. Hopefully this clarifies things. This is basically how I discovered what I needed to do, going through the same process (log, messages, patch file). = The log (when the problem existed) actually clued me in when it "could not find= the driver" but I did not initially connect the dots for needing to install the evdev input driver. (so that's why I suggested something about this in the handbook) --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
