Solved [Xfce] keyboard goes wild after pkg upgrade

Hello,

I'm using from time to time an Xfce4 desktop on a FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE PC. It was working great until recently. After the last pkg upgrade (like, yesterday) the keyboard is misbehaving: it's totally unusable. Typing on the keyboard will not produce intended keys but totally random multi-character inputs (might be raw data, not even ascii). Even navigation keys and escape key are producing garbage. If I'm using the console (ie. before issuing the startxfce4 command) the beyboard works flawlessly. On other OSes it works perfectly too.
I'm mostly an Xorg/Xfce noob, any help appreciated!
 
Oh yeah. Thanks a lot.
I've set sysctl kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=12 and removed the Driver "keyboard" line from /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/keyboard-fr-oss.conf.
Then my keyboard is back to normal life.
