~4Dgifts/toolbox/documents/XInputExtension README
the four PostScript files contained herein document aspects of the
X11 Input Extension Library written by the MIT X Consortium and
based on X Version 11, Release 5.
README.xinput: this file describes mysterious undocumented-until-much-
too-late-in-1994-SGI-software-release information about
Device controls and the ways we have extended them to
change and query things about devices. SOMEDAY, this
file will live in /usr/lib/X11/input/config/README...
Library Spec.ps: X11 Input Extension Library Specification
This document describes an extension to the X11 server. The purpose
of this extension is to support the use of additional input devices
beyond the pointer and keyboard devices defined by the core X
protocol. This first section gives an overview of the input
extension. The following sections correspond to chapters 7 and 8,
"Window Manager functions" and "Events and Event-Handling Functions"
of the "Xlib - C Language Interface" manual and describe how to use
the input extension.
PortingDoc.ps: X11 Input Extension Porting Document
This document is intended to aid the process of integrating the X11
Input Extension into an X server.
ProtocolEncoding.ps: Appendix A, Input Extension Protocol Encoding
ProtocolSpec.ps: X11 Input Extension Protocol Specification
This document defines an extension to the X11 protocol to support
input devices other than the core X keyboard and pointer. An
accompanying document defines a corresponding extension to Xlib
(similar extensions for languages other than C are anticipated).
This first section gives an overview of the input extension. The
next section defines the new protocol requests defined by the
extension. We conclude with a description of the new input events
generated by the additional input devices.
