6 XkbIgnoreExtension - Prevents core X library keyboard functions from
7 using the X Keyboard Extension
8
10 Bool XkbIgnoreExtension (Bool *ignore);
11
13 ignore True means ignore the extension
14
16 If a server supports the Xkb extension, the X library normally imple‐
17 ments preXkb keyboard functions using the Xkb keyboard description and
18 state. The server Xkb keyboard state may differ from the preXkb key‐
19 board state. This difference does not affect most clients, but there
20 are exceptions. To allow these clients to work properly, you may
21 instruct the extension not to use Xkb functionality.
22 Call XkbIgnoreExtension to prevent core X library keyboard functions
24 from using the X Keyboard Extension. You must call XkbIgnoreExtension
25 before you open a server connection; Xkb does not provide a way to
26 enable or disable use of the extension once a connection is estab‐
27 lished.
28 XkbIgnoreExtension tells the X library whether to use the X Keyboard
30 Extension on any subsequently opened X display connections. If ignore
31 is True, the library does not initialize the Xkb extension when it
32 opens a new display. This forces the X server to use compatibility mode
33 and communicate with the client using only core protocol requests and
34 events. If ignore is False, the library treats subsequent calls to
35 XOpenDisplay normally and uses Xkb extension requests, events, and
36 state. Do not explicitly use Xkb on a connection for which it is dis‐
37 abled. XkbIgnoreExtension returns False if it was unable to apply the
38 ignore request.

41 True The XkbIgnoreExtension returns True if
42 False The XkbIgnoreExtension function returns False if it was
44 unable to apply the ignore request.
