Mk/Uses/xorg-cat.mk: Resurrect CATEGORIES=proto and switch EXTRACT_SUFX to xz Resurrect CATEGORIES=proto to simplify the port's Makefile. Remove experimental from the meson's comment, as some ports have fully transitioned to building with Meson. Upstream has switched from bz2 to xz, so update EXTRACT_SUFX.

wacom(4x) is configured automatically via devd or HAL. However, if you prefer to do so manually copy and edit the sample: $ cd /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ $ cp wacom.conf.sample wacom.conf moused(8) may interfere with tablet input by attaching to fake /dev/ums*. To prevent that add a usb_quirk(4) then detach and attach the tablet. /usr/local/etc/rc.d/wacom is an example how preserve quirks across reboot.

x11-drivers/xf86-input-wacom: Moved man to share/man Approved by: portmgr (blanket)603cf1b141
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on WWW: lines in pkg-descr files. This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these pkg-descr files. Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)fb16dfecae
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources. Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the port specific URL to further information. There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time. This commit implements such a proposal and moves one of the WWW: entries of each pkg-descr file into the respective port's Makefile. A heuristic attempts to identify the most relevant URL in case there is more than one WWW: entry in some pkg-descr file. URLs that are not moved into the Makefile are prefixed with "See also:" instead of "WWW:" in the pkg-descr files in order to preserve them. There are 1256 ports that had no WWW: entries in pkg-descr files. These ports will not be touched in this commit. The portlint port has been adjusted to expect a WWW entry in each port Makefile, and to flag any remaining "WWW:" lines in pkg-descr files as deprecated. Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)b7f05445c0

x11-drivers/xf86-input-wacom: deprecate in favor of xf86-input-libinput Still maintained upstream, so not expiring yet.b7ccdacea0
Update xorg x11 servers to 1.20.7 Update xorg x11 servers to 1.20.7. This updates x11-servers/xorg-server, xephyr, xorg-dmx, xorg-nestserver, xorg-vbserver and xwayland. Enable the UDEV backend by default, instead of the DEVD backend, for autoconfiguration of input devices on FreeBSD 12 and later. FreeBSD 11 lacks the needed support in base and will keep on using the DEVD backend. Support for the HAL backend is dropped completely, it has been deprecated for a long time. Update and improve the DEVD backend. Add a pkg message about sysctl configuration that might be needed when using UDEV. Use the upstream fix for glamour issues. Use evdev xkb rules by default in xwayland [2] Add x11-drivers/xf86-input-libinput to the list installed by default by x11-drivers/xorg-drivers. Fix net/tigervnc-server and emulators/virtualbox-ose Bump portrevision of all x11 drivers, as well as other ports dependent on xorg-server. This represents work by many people over a long period.

Split out evdev headers from multimedia/v4l_compat Split out evdev headers (input.h, input-event-codes.h, uinput.h) into their own port, devel/evdev-proto, and update those to be current with the Linux 4.19 kernel. This is done in order to be able to update the rest of the FreeBSD input stack, which is forthcoming. By splititng out the evdev headers we can update them independent of other updates in v4l_compat, which makes it easier for the graphics team to keep track of them and keep them updated as needed. Update devel/libevdev from 1.4.4 to 1.5.9 instead of trying to make it work with the updated headers. This will be further updated. Update devel/py-evdev from 0.5.0 to 0.8.1 instead of trying to make it work with the updated evdev headers. Update consumers to use devel/evdev-proto rather than multimedia/v4l_compat as needed, and bump portrevisions. This is the first step in getting the FreeBSD input stack (libevdev, libinput and so on) updated to newer versions. Many thanks to all who have helped out with testing, code and exp-runs.

x11-servers/xorg-server: Update to 1.14
The X.Org server has been updated to 1.14. The changes it brings are described
in a post on the Graphics team blog:
http://blogs.freebsdish.org/graphics/2014/11/19/xserver-1-14-update-ready/
The most noticable change is the DEVD input device autodetection backend
which is enabled by default, replacing the HAL backend. The keyboard
layout configuration must be migrated from HAL's .fdi files to X.Org
files. The procedure is explained in the post mentionned above.
Several ports were removed with this update, mainly because they are not
compatible with the X.Org server anymore:
o nvidia-driver-71
o nvidia-driver-96
o xf86-input-egalax
o xf86-video-newport
o xf86-video-tga
