https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=241384 --- Comment #2 from Joshua Kinard <[email protected]> --- It looks like 12.1-RELEASE fixed this, in a way. /dev/input/eventX is populated now, and it took some tweaking of kern.evdev.rcpt_mask to get the right devices to start recording events. I also had to make some adjustments to my xorg.conf file, following some instructions here: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2017-April/065653.html This leads to a working config block for the Touchpad: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Touchpad0" Driver "libinput" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event3" Option "AccelProfile" "adaptive" Option "DisableWhileTyping" "True" Option "MiddleEmulation" "True" Option "ScrollMethod" "edge" Option "Tapping" "True" Option "TappingDrag" "True" Option "TappingDragLock" "False" EndSection However, a small bug has manifested itself w/ security implications. I am noticing that when I type my username and password into the login fields on slim, that input is apparently being echoed to the virtual terminal that slim is running on. This is invisible, however, until you kill X or logout. For a brief second, when slim is restarting, both the username and password are visible in plaintext on the console. Once slim starts up, they can't be seen again. I suspect this laptop being from ~2011 and a bit slow enhances the delay in slim's restart, allowing one to actually glimpse the echo'ed text. I don't recall seeing this when I was using kbd and /dev/psm0 under 12.0-RELEASE. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-x11 To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
