Fellow server hackers,

I'm trying to implement the XTest input synthesis extension for our
X11R4 server and I'm confused about the following routines described
in $top/extensions/server/xtest1.frags:

...
> You also need to implement the following routines (documentation
> is needed; for now, see server/ddx/hp/hp/x_hil.c):
...
> XTestGenerateEvent(dev_type, keycode, keystate, mousex, mousey)
> XTestGetPointerPos(fmousex, fmousey)
> XTestJumpPointer(jx, jy, dev_type)

all I have in the indicated directory is: 

hp.300.o.Z
hp.800.o.Z

evidently, the dreaded institutional OCO (object code only) virus
attacked hp at the last minute!

In fact, 

19% cd $top/server/ddx
20% grep XTestGenerateEvent `find . -name "*.[ch]" -print`

generated only one match, and that was an invocation, not a definition:

./tek/pegInit.c:    XTestGenerateEvent(0, 0, 0, 0, 0);

Similarly, 

39% cd $top/extensions
40% grep XTestGenerateEvent `find . -name "*.[ch]" -print`

only generated two matches, also invocations, as it turns out:

./server/xtest1dd.c:void	XTestGenerateEvent();
./server/xtest1dd.c:			    XTestGenerateEvent(

Oddly, these functions are not mentioned at all in the (scant)
documentation I have ($top/doc/extensions/xtest1.mm), but I don't
think it will work without them.  Am I missing something?


Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!
