Well, recently I was having trouble with updated installed outdated packages. I solved the solution by re-installing FreeBSD :stud , opting to not install any packages at install time. Little did I know, I could have just done a portmanager -u, but it's all resolved now.
I built xorg from scratch, a simple make install clean, I did not modify any config files or anything. xorg built fine, so I installed the Fluxbox WM, which also built and installed without a problem.
Now, it seems that xorg is not recognizing neither my keyboard or mouse. I'm assuming the problem has something to do with drivers, but I don't know how to troubleshoot this, because once I do startx I'm basically left to hitting the power switch on machine to manually power it off (this is all that I can do, I can't even properly restart FreeBSD, I can't do anything without a keyboard).
I'm literately lost as to how to resolve this problem. I once before used a utility called "xorgconfig" to configure xorg (which I actually used to break xorg, since I could not find an appropriate image depth for my computer, none of them seemed to work), but it seems that this utility no longer exists in the new version of xorg, I get "xorgconfig: Command not found.".
The keyboard and mouse was working before when the FreeBSD sysinstall installed an outdated version of xorg (during FreeBSD install).
I know this probably isn't an uncommon problem among xorg users, and the solution is probably simple. Could anyone please point me in the right direction here? Thanks in advance.
