"The first stable release of the X Input Extension Version 2.0 protocol
specification and header files."
XI2 provides a number of enhancements over version 1.5, including:
- use of XGE and GenericEvents. GenericEvents are of flexible length with a
minimum length of 32 bytes.
- explicit device hierarchy of master and slave devices. See Section 4.
- use of multiple independent master devices (Multi-Poiner X or MPX).
- the ability for devices to change capabilities at runtime.
- raw device events
X Input Protocol 1.5.0
Additions over 1.4: input device properties support.
IDP are modelled after window properties and work much in the same
manner. Each X Input device can have multiple properties of
arbitrary types at any point in time. These properties can be
interpreted by the server and/or the driver and thus allow cheap,
easily expandable ways of configuring devices.
IDP can also be read by other clients, allowing clients to label
devices or device specific features. Two of the more obvious cases
are to label a device as "primary", or to label each axis to denote
it's function ("press", "tilt", "rotation", etc.).
For those reading commit logs: IDP were originally added as XGE
events as part of XI2, then backported to traditional events.
Cheers,
Peter
Peter Hutterer (10):
Back out Device Properties from XI 2, push into XI 1.5.
Protect against C++ includes.
Add libXi's property interfaces.
PropertyNotify, move deviceid back to last byte.
Remove RCS tags, typo fix.
Make sure Atoms are defined as CARD32.
Undef Atom after we're done so we don't pollute users of XIproto.h
Add XI_JOYSTICK type.
Remove Configure/QueryDeviceProperty.
inputproto 1.5.0
Adam Jackson (2):
C sucks: define XEventClass in terms of unsigned int, not CARD32.
Typo fix.
Peter Hutterer (2):
Add DeviceControlChanged define.
inputproto 1.4.4
Adam Jackson (1):
inputproto 1.4.3
Eamon Walsh (1):
XI.h needs X.h for CARD32 on 64-bit systems.
James Cloos (2):
Add *~ to .gitignore to skip patch/emacs droppings
Replace static ChangeLog with dist-hook to generate from git log
Jesse Barnes (1):
Use Xmd.h instead of X.h to pull in CARD32 definition
