Re: noob question on Generic Event Extension

Hi Peter,

thank you for your response.

On my Ubuntu 9.04 desktop I get this:

strings /usr/lib/libXext.so.6.4.0 | grep -i generic
Generic Event Extension
Generic Event Extension

But when I run the same command on the X11 that I built, I don't get the same output

elku@chutney:~$ strings /opt/X11rdp/lib/libXext.so.6.4.0 | grep -i generic
elku@chutney:~$

Also, when I run xdpyinfo on my Ubuntu desktop, I get this

elku@chutney:~$ xdpyinfo | grep -i generic
    Generic Event Extension

but on the X11 that I built, I get nothing again.

This is what makes me assume that GE is not being built on my X11.

thanks
Dhoti

I'm playing around with X source code so I can learn more about X.

I've downloaded the latest xorg server source and successfully built
it. However I find that Generic Event Extension is not being
included in the build.

How do I enable Generic Event Extension?
    
It's enabled by default since at least one built-in extension (XI) requires
it.

Cheers,
  Peter
