In my /var/log/Xorg.0.log file I found this line:
5261.770] (==) AMDGPU(0): Silken mouse enabled
but nothing else related to mouse or keyboard.
I thought those things didn't need to be configured.
Example 8 in the FreeBSD Handbook Chapter 5.1 addressed the
keyboard as "InputClass" not "InputDevice" as below:
Example 8. Setting a Keyboard Layout
/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
Option "XkbLayout" "es, fr"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbVariant" ",qwerty"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:win_space_toggle"
EndSection
The /var/log/Xorg.0.log file had these lines after I added two
files: one for keyboard and one for mouose (see below);
[ 74.787] (II) config/udev: Adding input device System keyboard multiplexer (/dev/input/event0)
[ 74.787] (**) System keyboard multiplexer: Applying InputClass "Keyboard0"
[ 74.787] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device.
[ 74.787] (II) This device may have been added with another device file.
[ 74.787] (II) config/udev: Adding input device System mouse (/dev/input/event1)
[ 74.787] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device.
Here are my two added files:
unix% cd /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
unix% cat 00-keyboard.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
EndSection
unix% cat trackball.conf
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
EndSection
I think I need to change "InputClass" to "InputDevice" and add
a Driver line like this:
unix% cat keyboard.conf
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
EndSection
After another reboot, still no mouse activity:
[ 55.745] (II) config/udev: Adding input device System keyboard multiplexer (/dev/input/event0)
[ 55.745] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device.
[ 55.745] (II) This device may have been added with another device file.
[ 55.745] (II) config/udev: Adding input device System mouse (/dev/input/event1)
[ 55.745] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device.
[ 55.745] (II) This device may have been added with another device file.
I don't know how to configure my mouse and keyboard so that X11/Xorg will
recognize them. Please advise. Thanks in advance.
