XkbIgnoreExtension(3)     XKB FUNCTIONS     XkbIgnoreExtension(3)



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

SYNOPSIS
       Bool XkbIgnoreExtension ( ignore )
             Bool *ignore;

ARGUMENTS
       ignore True means ignore the extension

DESCRIPTION
       If a server supports the Xkb extension, the X library nor-
       mally  implements  preXkb keyboard functions using the Xkb
       keyboard description and state. The  server  Xkb  keyboard
       state may differ from the preXkb keyboard state. This dif-
       ference does not affect most clients, but there are excep-
       tions.  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  connec-
       tion;  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  ini-
       tialize  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  explic-
       itly  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.
