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.
