Have a look at any of the headers in X11/extensions/XKB*.h and compare them to xserver/include/xkb*.h and xserver/xkb/*.c. There is a ton of duplication of XKB API so that it can be used in the server. Just one fun fact: XkbDescPtr is different in the server since the one in XKBstr.h has a Display field. kbproto is sweet. Furthermore, all the parsing of the xkeyboard-config data is done in a bison parser in xkbcomp. Unfortunately, xkbcomp uses the XKB API from Xlib, so it has to be sanitized to some lower level to be usable the server. Likewise, all the rules parsing is done in libxkbfile, which is definitely client side only. Anyway, I'll get my git repo of libxkbcommon onto annarchy soon. I warn you that I'm not that far along, though. -- Dan ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

I'm interested. xkbcomp(1) seems to be the only thing which pulls Xlib to the distro I work on. -- pgpHkzQLgGSpb.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

Cool, I'm interested. I've been thinking of doing this for wayland and X, and one thing I wanted to avoid was linking to libX11. That's only to call XStringToKeysym, right? We should just copy the files over and include the hash table in libxkbcomp, I think. If you have a git repo, can you put it up somewhere? thanks, Kristian ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg

Pretty much everything from http://wiki.x.org/wiki/SummerOfCodeIdeas2008 is still valid. There's also http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ToDo and http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/SummerOfCode Some new ideas presented by folks on IRC: - VDPAU on Gallium - libpciaccess port to HURD - r600 support on Gallium - XGrabKeysym(), probably as part of Xi2, so clients don't have to monitor for keymap changes on hotplug/xmodmap - https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11227 (allow >255 keycodes) - https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=931 (replacing libxkbfile with something less crusty) - merging xkbcomp into the server - true multi-touch support in X. though that'd require whot to get XI2 done first... - something to replace XEvIE in the new input world -- Thanks, Donnie Donnie Berkholz X team lead, Gentoo Linux Blog: http://dberkholz.wordpress.com pgp9FVCaisC7w.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
