XkbIgnoreExtension(3)						   XKB FUNCTIONS					     XkbIgnoreExtension(3)

NAME
       XkbIgnoreExtension -  Prevents core X library keyboard functions from using the X Keyboard Extension

SYNOPSIS
       Bool XkbIgnoreExtension ( ignore )
	     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 dis-
       abled.  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.
