freebsd stable - Dec 2020 - 12.2-RELEASE and ctwm

I just upgraded a machine from 11.4-RELEASE to 12.2-RELEASE.  Using
the same version of ctwm (4.0.3,1 installed from packages) with the
same .ctwmrc, things behave differently and I don't know why.

My first problem is the middle button on my Logitech TrackMan Marble
PS/2 mouse is no longer recognized by ctwm.

Button2 =       : root          : f.menu "windowops"

This worked under 11.4-RELEASE but doesn't any more.  Using Button1
or Button3 works fine.  However the middle button does work within
an xterm to do a paste.

Secondly, these two lines from .ctwmrc don't work until I restart ctwm
with either a kill -HUP or by calling f.restart from a ctwm menu.

"Right" = c     : all           : f.nextworkspace
"Left" = c      : all           : f.prevworkspace

After restarting ctwm these key bindings work.

This machine has integrated Intel(R) HD Graphics 2000 and I'm using
the xf86-video-intel driver package along with building the
graphics/drm-kmod port.

Can someone recommend some things to look at to resolve these issues?

Thanks -- I've seen the same with tvtwm (from 12.1 to 12.2!)

So on a whim I built a new kernel commenting out these lines:

#options        EVDEV_SUPPORT           # evdev support in legacy drivers
#device         evdev                   # input event device support
#device         uinput                  # install /dev/uinput cdev

Which also necessitated commenting out the following in /etc/rc.conf:

#kld_list="/boot/modules/drm.ko /boot/modules/i915kms.ko"

And after rebooting all the issues I mentioned above went away.
So I guess I have an evdev problem.  But I still don't know what
to do about it.
