xkeyboard-config 2.3
After some mess related to GNOME3 release, I am proud to present the scheduled release of xkeyboard-config. A number of bugs were closed. Troubled descriptions that went to 2.2, polished seriously. Thanks to TP, a number of translations were seriously updated. This release is recommended to use over 2.2 and 2.2.1. For people still using gnome2 (or Ubuntu, up to 11.04) it is visually more pleasant to stick to 2.1. http://www.x.org/releases/individual/data/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config-2.3.tar.bz2 http://www.x.org/releases/individual/data/xkeyboard-config/xkeyboard-config-2.3.tar.gz The tag in git is xkeyboard-config-2.3 Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xkeyboard-config Get it while its hot!

Compositing is implemented much more efficiently than windows shaping.

Re: clip masks/simulating transparency
Hi! I just wanted to say that I love the idea of what you are doing. If I get it right, xpenguins would then work with any DE (KDE/Gnome) without erasing the icont? Nik Am Dienstag, 31. Mai 2011 schrieb Amy C: Hi all, I've sort-of worked it out (I think??) but would still like suggestions on this. The penguins -are- being drawn using the clip mask correctly onto the window of my choice. The problem was that each penguin comprises a little animation (penguin is moving), and the expose event was only being sent once per animation, not after every single frame of the animation. Since the penguins move only a few pixels per animations (say 20 or so) it looked like the clip mask just wasn't working. I've modified the code to send an expose event after each frame of the animation is drawn (so truly after each penguin is drawn), but now (as expected) it looks very very flickery -- every cycle we get a XClearArea where the old penguin was, an XExposeEvent where the old penguin was, and a XCopyArea of the next frame of the animation. Can anyone think of an alternative way to do this (have the penguins walk over a screen of my choosing and restore said window after they've passed through, without too much flickering?) -- perhaps I can copy the relevant bit of background as the background of the penguin pixmap itself, although I think I'd need to send an XExposeEvent before I can grab the background? [So close! Soon I shall have penguins taking over my windows! SOON! bahaha] cheers Amy ___ xorg@lists.freedesktop.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com

Compositing is implemented much more efficiently than windows shaping. My bad, I looked at the source, it doesn't use shaped windows. Still, using composited windows per pinguin may be a win.

Setting keyboard autorepeat rate with xkb?
Hi, In commit ae630aef17185dd8d2c23d0eb1b3287fa6e26268, Peter Hutterer writes: Really remove autorepeat. This strips all autorepeat from the keyboard driver. If you need autorepeat, use XKB. So I've been trying to find the place in XKB to set the keyboard autorepeat rate. So far, I've been unsuccessful. Google searches turn up lots of places that tell me to use xset, but somehow this seems like a giant step backward. And if the commit message points me to XKB, there must be a way. Can anyone give me any pointers?

Thanks. I wasn't looking for the programmatic way, though. I assumed that if a config-file based autorepeat option was taken away, then there would be a config-file based option available in xkb. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the role of xkb. There appears to be lots of config file support for multiple keyboard layouts, etc, but none for autorepeat. But from the above answer, it would appear that from the admin's point of view, xset is the only way? I find this so stunning that I'm apparently asking dumb questions on the mailing list. :-) Is xset really the only way?

Thanks, - Chris Your average desktop environment has a way to configure it per user with persistent storage for the value. If you aren't running a desktop environment, you would run xset somewhere in the startup script for the user session.

The commit you referred to was only in the kbd driver, which is hardly consistent, as almost all Linux distros use the evdev driver, while kbd is for non-Linux distros (BSD, Solaris, etc.).
