Re: New Xorg - different key-codes
Hi,
This command sets the keyboard layout. You are supposed to set the keyboard
layout which matches the physical layout of the hardware. This hadn't
changed, it's a fundamental part of X11 since I know it (X11 6.5) and even
before...
For those which had an explicit setting in xorg.conf (like me) but switched
now to nothing or the "match" snippets for mouse or kbd: you can specify
this already in the config. Here is what I use:
---snip---
Donnerstag, 12. März 2020, 10:21:40
{1} [video:/]
(201) root@ttypts/1 # cat /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/kbd.conf Section
"InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "libinput"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbRules" "evdev"
EndSection
Donnerstag, 12. März 2020, 10:22:05
{0} [video:/]
(202) root@ttypts/1 # cat /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/mouse.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Mouse0"
MatchIsPointer "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "libinput"
# Option "Protocol" "auto"
# Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection
---snip---
Note, I use this in sysctl.conf:
---snip---
# enable hardware devices in evdev
kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=12
---snip---
When I did that, I just validated that I was able to login to KDE (the
particular X11 is feeding a home-cinema setup and is not used often, I just
decided to update it as long as I remembered there was a change to xorg
with a config impact). I didn't check any up/down/umlauts, I just plain
assumed it works (and I still assume it does). The above is just meant to
provide some info how to make it work globally instead of having a setting
in each local startup per user.
Bye,
Alexander.

This *might* help you:
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-x11/2020-February/025046.html
(Short version: run setxkbmap in ~/.xinitrc, e.g.,
setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout de)
Will running that command return my key mappings back to what they use to be?

After the change to latest, the pkg upgrade found a lot of files to update, including xorg-server, xfce and xorg-drivers. But, after the update to latest, only my usb mouse is detected on xserver now... The log don't have any errors, the Xorg log don't have any output about touchpad and laptop keyboard too. The glitch in window titles was fixed after the update, so this is now ok =). The only problem now is the keyboard/touchpad in X. I need to rebuild the kernel too? Any other command I can run to check if I need something more?

Ok, I added this to my ~/.xinitrc file: setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout us and my ctwm window adjustment hot keys are working again. :) I do wonder why it was deemed ok to change the default behavior for the key mappings? Couldn't the default mappings have remained the same with change to evdev? This change certainly violated the "principle of least surprise" for me. > > Bob > > -- > Bob Willcox| It's possible that the whole purpose of your life is to > b...@immure.com | serve as a warning to others. > Austin, TX | -- Bob Willcox| It's possible that the whole purpose of your life is to b...@immure.com | serve as a warning to others.

Re: FBSD 12.1 - LightDM don't grab keyboard input & Xfce4 window decorator problem
Hello guys, Good news, all the problems are solved! Searching and reading about the upgrade of xorg-server, I did what the installation message says, and the kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=6 was the flag I needed! Long history short, I learned 2 things: 1- RTFM and all messages that pop up 2- The devd was replaced by udev, so evdev with libinput is the default for automatic input detection on X now Thanks for the help!
