Err... No.

 He thought he was, but when I get email from people phrased that way,
 I don't appreciate it.

He really was.  You weren't.  His reply perhaps wasn't, either, but at
least there was a reason for that which was discernible to dispassionate
bystanders.

Re: Building XFree 4.3.99.9

  You can try to substitute cc -c by cc -E and look at the produced code.

 That only prints out a whole load of code and includes to the terminal.

Yes :)  It runs the preprocessor on the source and nothing else.

 From what I can see its no different to the code in the files and doesnt
 really give me any clues.

Pipe it into less and search for I2CDevPtr - see if it is defined weirdly
as a typedef.

It might be a #define instead - you'll be able to see that inside the
DDCRead_DDC2() function.

You search inside less with the '/' command:  Type /I2CDevPtrenter, for
example.  Use 'n' and 'p' to skip between the matches.

Re: spoofing X-events input?

 I'd like to know if anyone ever thought of a way to spoof mouse/keyboards

No, why would anyone ever want that? ;)

 If no one knows of an implementation, could you tell me with which of the
 X11/extensions/ header files to start with?

Look for xtrap (and xtest).

Some pointers:

xc/programs/xtrap/
xc/programs/Xserver/XTrap/

xc/doc/specs/Xext/record.ms
(has nice overview of the area)

xc/doc/hardcopy/Xext/xtest.PS.gz


And then there is XSendEvent, of course... ;)

RE: LCD Panels Refresh Rates

 When I run the RH9 display settings applet to change the resolution, it
 automatically adds HorizSync and VertRefresh values to my XF86Config file
 (or I should say I believe he's the one adding the values.)

Does it work correctly if you add Option NoDDC to your config file?

 What it comes down to is this  I know the current panel can do
 1280x1024. For modeset, I'm not doing any timing settings, just telling the
 BIOS what mode to go into. So, is there a right way to force xfree to allow
 standard modes 1280x1024 and below?

Yes - use HorizSync and VertRefresh to tell it that your monitor can
handle them :)
