Hi, I've been helping others configuring X11 with UDEV/evdev for quite some time now. Since UDEV recently became the default option on 12.1[0], I thought that having something automated (yet non-intrusive) to help users fix their setup might be useful. To achieve this, I created a small/hacky script today that checks all the usual problems I found while helping people figuring out what's wrong with their setup. You can find it on github: https://github.com/grembo/xorg-udev-setup-check Direct download link: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grembo/xorg-udev-setup-check/master/xorg-udev-setup-check.sh Usage: ./xorg-udev-setup-check.sh [-hdpi] -h print this help -d skip drm checks -p skip package version checks -i only show errors (suppress info) You should be able to run it as an unprivileged user - fixing things will require root privileges though. I didn't test it thoroughly, so feel free to open pull requests on github - functional improvements only please, don't try to improve the code quality. Cheers, Michael [0]https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196678 -- Michael Gmelin
