xcb contains an xml-definition for the GenericEvent extension but this extension was neither generated nor built. This patch enables optional building of the GenericEvent extension with configure option --enable-ge By default, the GenericEvent extension is not built. Normally this is not needed by application programs because there is implicit support for the GE-extension for the specific events built with this extension. But it may be useful for X-protocol analyzers and stuff like that. Signed-off-by: Christian Linhart <chris@demorecorder.com>
About libxcb
============
libxcb provides an interface to the X Window System protocol, which
replaces the current Xlib interface. It has several advantages over
Xlib, including:
- size: small, simple library, and lower memory footprint
- latency hiding: batch several requests and wait for the replies later
- direct protocol access: interface and protocol correspond exactly
- proven thread support: transparently access XCB from multiple threads
- easy extension implementation: interfaces auto-generated from XML-XCB
Xlib can also use XCB as a transport layer, allowing software to make
requests and receive responses with both, which eases porting to XCB.
However, client programs, libraries, and toolkits will gain the most
benefit from a native XCB port.
