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.
