DESCRIPTION

       In  environments  where computers are shared, features such as SlowKeys present a problem:
       if SlowKeys is on, the keyboard can  appear  to  be  unresponsive  because  keys  are  not
       accepted until they are held for a certain period of time. To help solve this problem, Xkb
       provides an AccessXTimeout control to automatically change the enabled/disabled  state  of
       any  boolean  controls  and  to  change  the  value of the AccessXKeys and AccessXFeedback
       control attributes if the keyboard is idle for a specified period of time.

       When a timeout as specified  by  AccessXTimeout  occurs  and  a  control  is  consequently
       modified,   Xkb   generates   an   XkbControlsNotify   event.   For  more  information  on
       XkbControlsNotify events.

       timeout specifies the number of seconds the keyboard must be idle before the controls  are
       modified.   ctrls_mask  specifies  what  controls  are  to  be  enabled  or  disabled, and
       ctrls_values specifies whether those controls are to  be  enabled  or  disabled.  The  bit
       values   correspond   to   those   for  enabling  and  disabling  boolean  controls  using
       XkbChangeEnabledControls.
        The opts_mask field specifies which attributes of  the  AccessXKeys  and  AccessXFeedback
       controls  are  to  be changed, and opts_values specifies the new values for those options.
       The bit values correspond to those for the ax_options field of an XkbDescRec.

       XkbSetAccessXTimeout sends a request  to  configure  the  AccessXTimeout  control  to  the
       server.  It  does not wait for a reply, and normally returns True. If a compatible version
       of the Xkb extension is not available in the server, XkbSetAccessXTimeout returns False.

RETURN VALUES

       True           The XkbSetAccessXTimeout function returns True when a compatible version of
                      the Xkb extension is available in the server.

       False          The  XkbSetAccessXTimeout  function returns False when a compatible version
                      of the Xkb extension is not available in the server.

STRUCTURES

       The complete description of an Xkb keyboard is  given  by  an  XkbDescRec.  The  component
       structures in the XkbDescRec represent the major Xkb components.

       typedef struct {
          struct _XDisplay * display;      /∗ connection to X server */
          unsigned short     flags;        /∗ private to Xkb, do not modify */
          unsigned short     device_spec;  /∗ device of interest */
          KeyCode            min_key_code; /∗ minimum keycode for device */
          KeyCode            max_key_code; /∗ maximum keycode for device */
          XkbControlsPtr     ctrls;        /∗ controls */
          XkbServerMapPtr    server;       /∗ server keymap */
          XkbClientMapPtr    map;          /∗ client keymap */
          XkbIndicatorPtr    indicators;   /∗ indicator map */
          XkbNamesPtr        names;        /∗ names for all components */
          XkbCompatMapPtr    compat;       /∗ compatibility map */
          XkbGeometryPtr     geom;         /∗ physical geometry of keyboard */
       } XkbDescRec, *XkbDescPtr;

       The  display  field  points  to  an X display structure. The flags field is private to the
       library: modifying flags may yield unpredictable results. The device_spec field  specifies
       the device identifier of the keyboard input device, or XkbUseCoreKeyboard, which specifies
       the core keyboard device. The min_key_code and max_key_code fields specify the  least  and
       greatest keycode that can be returned by the keyboard.

       Each  structure  component  has a corresponding mask bit that is used in function calls to
       indicate that the structure should be manipulated in some manner, such as allocating it or
       freeing  it. These masks and their relationships to the fields in the XkbDescRec are shown
       in Table 1.

       XkbAllComponentsMask   All Fields         (0x7f)

       The structure for the XkbControlsNotify event is defined as follows:

           typedef struct {
               int           type;          /∗ Xkb extension base event code */
               unsigned long serial;        /∗ X server serial number for event */
               Bool          send_event;    /∗ True => synthetically generated */
               Display *     display;       /∗ server connection where event generated */
               Time          time;          /∗ server time when event generated */
               int           xkb_type;      /∗ XkbCompatMapNotify */
               int           device;        /∗ Xkb device ID, will not be XkbUseCoreKbd */
               unsigned int  changed_ctrls; /∗ bits indicating which controls data have changed*/
               unsigned int  enabled_ctrls; /∗ controls currently enabled in server */
               unsigned int  enabled_ctrl_changes; /∗ bits indicating enabled/disabled controls */
               int           num_groups;    /∗ current number of keyboard groups */
               KeyCode       keycode;       /∗ != 0 => keycode of key causing change */
               char          event_type;    /∗ Type of event causing change */
               char          req_major;     /∗ major event code of event causing change */
               char          req_minor;     /∗ minor event code of event causing change */
           } XkbControlsNotifyEvent;
