bionic (3) X11::Protocol::Ext::MIT_SUNDRY_NONSTANDARD.3pm.gz

NAME

       X11::Protocol::Ext::MIT_SUNDRY_NONSTANDARD - X11R2/R3 compatibility mode

SYNOPSIS

        use X11::Protocol;
        my $X = X11::Protocol->new;
        $X->init_extension('MIT-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD')
          or print "MIT-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD extension not available";

DESCRIPTION

       The MIT-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD extension controls a "bug mode" setting in the server which helps some X11R2
       and X11R3 client programs, including "xterm" from those releases.

       Bug mode means: relaxing event mask checking in grab pointer and button requests and window do-not-
       propagate attributes (to ignore mask bits which are not applicable); something for non-overlapping
       sibling window stacking order; and keeping maximum keycode below 255 to avoid an Xt toolkit segfault.
       Unless working with old client programs then these things are unlikely to be of interest.

REQUESTS

       The following are made available with an "init_extension()" per "EXTENSIONS" in X11::Protocol.

           my $bool = $X->init_extension('MIT-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD');

       "$X->MitSundryNonstandardSetBugMode ($flag)"
       "$flag = $X->MitSundryNonstandardGetBugMode ()"
           Get or set the bug mode flag.  1 means compatibility mode is on, 0 means off.

SEE ALSO

       X11::Protocol

       xset(1) "bc" option to control the bug flag from the command line.

       Xserver(1) "bc" command-line option to set the flag at server startup.
