Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla@FreeBSD.org> has asked freebsd-x11 mailing li= st <x11@FreeBSD.org> for maintainer-feedback: Bug 245966: x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics: enable EVDEV unconditionally https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D245966 --- Description --- There are 2 reasons to do that: 1. psm backend is mostly useless nowadays as it does not support even semi-multitouch trackpad packet format. So the only functional backend is evdev. 2. x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics unconditionally installs high priority configuration file which effectively forbids libinput to handle touchpads t= hat makes them unusable in Xorg if xf86-input-synaptics is compiled w/o evdev support.
