Seems to be nearly instantaneous against an Xvfb, but did cause a noticable hiccup with Xorg. Haven't investigated more closely, so I'd suspect (in rough order of likelihood): a) something super-linear in the number of input devices b) some weird slow ioctl syncing the X state to the kernel c) somehow you end up on the "lets spawn xkbcomp" path and the fork/exec overhead kills you - ajax _______________________________________________ xorg-devel@lists.x.org: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
