XkbIgnoreExtension(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbIgnoreExtension(3)

NAME

XkbIgnoreExtension - Prevents core X library keyboard functions from
using the X Keyboard Extension

SYNOPSIS

Bool XkbIgnoreExtension (Bool *ignore);

ARGUMENTS

ignore True means ignore the extension

DESCRIPTION

If a server supports the Xkb extension, the X library normally
implements preXkb keyboard functions using the Xkb keyboard
description and state. The server Xkb keyboard state may differ from
the preXkb keyboard state. This difference does not affect most
clients, but there are exceptions. To allow these clients to work
properly, you may instruct the extension not to use Xkb
functionality.

Call XkbIgnoreExtension to prevent core X library keyboard functions
from using the X Keyboard Extension. You must call XkbIgnoreExtension
before you open a server connection; Xkb does not provide a way to
enable or disable use of the extension once a connection is
established.

XkbIgnoreExtension tells the X library whether to use the X Keyboard
Extension on any subsequently opened X display connections. If ignore
is True, the library does not initialize the Xkb extension when it
opens a new display. This forces the X server to use compatibility
mode and communicate with the client using only core protocol
requests and events. If ignore is False, the library treats
subsequent calls to XOpenDisplay normally and uses Xkb extension
requests, events, and state. Do not explicitly use Xkb on a
connection for which it is disabled. XkbIgnoreExtension returns
False if it was unable to apply the ignore request.

RETURN VALUES

True The XkbIgnoreExtension returns True if

False The XkbIgnoreExtension function returns False if it
was unable to apply the ignore request.
