This depends on how you updated it. I could guess you used
freebsd-update at some point, but only you can know for sure.

Nothing wrong with it, that's not what I meant.

To check which version of FreeBSD you are using should be possible with
freebsd-version(1), check it's man page, I'm not using stable versions,
only releases and current, and I'm not sure what the output is on stable.

Migrating from quarterly to latest is done by configuring pkg, you
should read the full pkg.conf(5) man page. The EXAMPLES section has
examples clearly explaining what you are asking for.

This all depends on what you did on your system, any suggestion can only
be generic. You need to know your system condition.

You stated that you mixed binary packages installed via pkg from the
official repositories with locally built ports. As I said this is not
really supported, and if you only compiled locally part of Xorg and
mixed it with quarterly packages you have an high risk of having
inconsistent binaries on your system.

Check your logs for useful errors.

Indeed I did a freebsd-update, but I thought it just update the system to
patch vulnerabilities, not change it to release...

Thank you, I should have take a look on man pages before ask, after the
change, the pkg was updated successfully.

Yeah, I mixed pkg and ports but after that I removed all ports packages and
reinstalled the pkg version, so the system reverted to a safe/stable state.
After the change to latest, the pkg upgrade found a lot of files to update,
including xorg-server, xfce and xorg-drivers.
But, after the update to latest, only my usb mouse is detected on xserver
now...
The log don't have any errors, the Xorg log don't have any output about
touchpad and laptop keyboard too.

The glitch in window titles was fixed after the update, so this is now ok
=).
The only problem now is the keyboard/touchpad in X.
I need to rebuild the kernel too? Any other command I can run to check if I
need something more?

Thank you
