--- Comment #180 from Chris Hutchinson <portmaster at bsdforge.com> ---
For completeness.

On the following hardware:
FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT r358902
ports are from HEAD at 2 days ago
NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE at 00 at 00:13:0
xf86-video-nv
mouse/keyboard are PS2

I was finally able to get a usable DE
by performing the following:

add:
setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout us
to ~/.xinitrc

Then performing:
# sysctl kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=12
kern.evdev.rcpt_mask 3 -> 12

This last one provided a mouse for me.
The one above that, provided keyboard.
Of possible interest; attempting to
change kern.evdev.rcpt_mask previously
made no apparent difference. Conclusion;
It may be necessary to perform it more
than once, maybe bouncing the box between
attempts.

In any event. The settings, and actions above
provided a working X && DE on the hardware, and
OS version listed above. I hope that this
information will prove helpful to others.

Lastly, a *huge* thanks to Niclas, and Michael
for taking the time to so quickly respond to my
problem(s)!
