Thanks for the extra info in the readme :)

And it's fine, not realy deal-breaker, I guess it can be called user
error to forget to fiddle with the bundled game configuration files
when things don't work out.  FWIW, I personally think that only
supplying information for the WM's in base is a good middle-ground as
I don't think that most of the WM's/DE's in ports would deviate much
from these problems, and if they do, the user is on their own anyways
as it's not part of base.

pkg-readme aside, addressing the mouse cursor hostage situation with
upstream (if there's no issue opened already) would be nice as it's
hard to use the machine for anything else (xenodm doesn't support
multiple sessions, so you can't just alt+Fx to do other stuff, unlike
on linux), and it impacts all base WM's without a solution in
f1_res.ini.  I'm no porter so this might not be critical for the port.
Feel free to ignore.
