+ AFFECTS: users of x11/libxkbcommon
+ AUTHOR: zeising@FreeBSD.org
+
+ The libxkbcommon library (x11/libxkbcommon), used to handle keyboards
+ in some applications, most notably kde and wayland, have been switched
+ to use evdev rules by default. Some keys, most notably arrow keys,
+ may not work in applications using libxkbcommon, if you use
+ xf86-input-keyboard rather than xf86-input-libinput.
+ If you have trouble with the keyboard keys, and if /var/log/Xorg.*.log
+ shows that the "kbd" or "keyboard" driver is beind used, you need to
+ switch to legacy rules by setting the environment variable
+ XKB_DEFAULT_RULES to xorg.
+ This switch is make to match the default configuration on FreeBSD 12.1 and
+ later, the default configuration on FreeBSD 11.3 still requres the legacy
+ rules.
