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.
