Hi,

 I've been trying to run the regression testing tools from the X Test
Suite from MIT (the Xclientxr.2.0 set - xtmconvert, xtmexecute &
xtmrecord).

These tools require an X server which supports the Input Synthesis
extension. Now, apparently, MIT's sample servers support the extension
(at least optionally, there is an XINPUT flag in the server code...)

To make a long story short, there is some device dependent code that
needs to be written for a server to compile correctly with the
extension. There are hints in mit/extensions/server and in the
documentation on how to write the code.

Has anybody written such code for any Sun or Digital servers? Would
such a person be willing to make said code available?

It seems that HP's server supports this extension - at least, the .o
file that comes in server/ddx/hp has definitions for the missing
procedures - this is no surprise, since the Xclientxr code is
copyrighted by both HP and MIT...


Please reply by e-mail. I'll post a summary.

	Thanks,
