I'll have a look at that.

I'm using xfce from a display manager (lightdm) so I'm not using that file.

Maybe this is caused by the recent Xorg-server port change from devd
baackend to udev backend?

If that's the case the solution if installing xf86-input-evdev and
restarting Xorg.

BTW xf86-input-evdev should be a dependency of the xorg-drivers
metaport, so maybe forcing a reinstallation of that one will fix the issue.
