10 Bool XkbIgnoreExtension (Bool *ignore);

13 ignore True means ignore the extension

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 in‐
21 struct 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 en‐
26 able or disable use of the extension once a connection is established.
27 XkbIgnoreExtension tells the X library whether to use the X Keyboard
29 Extension on any subsequently opened X display connections. If ignore
30 is True, the library does not initialize the Xkb extension when it
31 opens a new display. This forces the X server to use compatibility mode
32 and communicate with the client using only core protocol requests and
33 events. If ignore is False, the library treats subsequent calls to
34 XOpenDisplay normally and uses Xkb extension requests, events, and
35 state. Do not explicitly use Xkb on a connection for which it is dis‐
36 abled. XkbIgnoreExtension returns False if it was unable to apply the
37 ignore request.

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