In May 2013 this directory included this file: -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 3487 May 2 13:08 extra-dix_events.c I upgraded my ports on a nearly identical system on May 23 and again on June 5th of 2013: unix% ll /usr/ports/x11-servers/xorg-server/files/ total 40 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 1024 Jun 5 11:20 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 512 Jun 5 12:06 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 402 Jun 5 11:20 extra-Xserver-hw-xfree86-os-support-bsd-sparc64_video.c -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 350 Jun 5 11:20 extra-Xserver-os-xprintf.c -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 5536 May 23 12:19 extra-arch-ia64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 438 May 23 12:19 extra-arch-powerpc -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2467 Jun 5 11:20 extra-clang -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 799 May 23 12:19 extra-include_eventstr.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 493 Jun 5 11:20 extra-new-arch-i386 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 511 Jun 5 11:20 extra-old-arch-i386 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 645 Jun 5 11:20 extra-os-utils.c -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 320 Jun 5 11:20 extra-servermd.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 384 May 23 12:19 patch-Xserver-hw-xfree86-common-xf86Config.c -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 469 May 23 12:19 patch-Xserver-hw-xfree86-os-support-bsd-i386_video.c -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 471 May 23 12:19 patch-xorgconf.cpp -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 155 May 23 12:19 pkg-deinstall.in -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 551 May 23 12:19 pkg-install.in The lack of the extra-dix_events.c patch file caused using my three button USB mouse with x11-toolkits/open-motif to fail. Note: all ports were rebuilt on Jun 5th after running "svn update /usr/ports" from within /usr/ports. Once the mouse failed, all I could do was CTRL-ALT-BS and revert to virtual terminals - not a very good desktop substitute. It turns out that the last patch segment of extra-dix_events.c was omitted (along with the entire patch file itself): @@ -3632,7 +3583,8 @@ CheckPassiveGrabsOnWindow( { FixUpEventFromWindow(device, xE, grab->window, None, TRUE); - TryClientEvents(rClient(grab), device, xE, count, mask, + TryClientEvents(rClient(grab), device, xE, count, + GetEventFilter(device, xE), GetEventFilter(device, xE), grab); } The lack of this last patch segment was the cause of my problems with mwm (part of the x11-toolkits/open-motif port) but it did not impact other window managers such as FVWM which may be why this patch was overlooked.
