Redshift, KDE Night Mode, Gnome Night colors not working on FreeBSD

I've installed FreeBSD 12.1 on desktop; setting the KDE night mode
doesn't do anything; Gnome night mode also does not; and Redshift just
throws an error about not being able to connect to the Wayland
display. The KDE Wayland & Gnome Wayland WMs just die and return to
login screen when I try them. From what I understand, the x11/xorg
package moved to Wayland by default a couple years ago.
Is this just my setup? and is there any way to use a redshift-like
capability in the current default packages? I'd prefer to use dwm as
my wm w/ redshift, but current xorg seems to be broken for me w/ all
red shifting.
If all else fails, would it be possible to use x11 from ports w/
wayland disabled? I'm not sure of the command to do that with
portmaster, but saw discussions about \`--disable-xwayland\`.


Thanks!
