I got 13.0 installed to get my wifi card to work the powers that be in FreeBSD have them working in that Current but not in 12.x so yeah I installed it. got it up and running. xorg, xfce4 and the mouse and keyboard works on the command line terminal, cli / when I startxfce4 it starts then mouse and keyboard does not. I got a pointer but no moments or keyboard either, I have to push the power button to get out of it.

any suggesting? mouse_enable=yes is already in rc.conf which I think is useless because it works until I go into xfce4.

(this post is in lue of my how do I get my Driver for Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 9560 working post) now that I've got 13.0 installed and running.

Since FreeBSD 13.0 is not officially supported you won't get much help here. Try the FreeBSD mailing lists.
 
It's the new Xorg switching from devd to udev.

Try this:
Code: 
sysctl kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=12
If this works, make it persistent across reboots by adding the following to /etc/sysctl.conf:
Code: 
kern.evdev.rcpt_mask=12
and remove any keyboard driver stuff from xorg.conf in case there is any.
 
didn't work.. I really didn't think it was going to be this problematic. there was something in dmesg about the keyboard thing too that might be the issue I forget exaclty what it said other than it was some option that might be dropped in development something something. its late.. tired.
 
Stupid question, but did you install xf86-input-mouse/keyboard drivers? They don't install by default with xorg-server, so I forgot about them in the past :). Besides, if you have newer Xorg (which at this time you most likely have), you'll also need to check this thread.
