Oops, that's the description of the EVI extension, which I failed to notice had been placed in the XEvIE protocol README by mistake. Sorry about that. The README has now been corrected in git: Author: Alan Coopersmith <[email protected]> Date: Wed Jan 5 18:18:27 2011 -0800 Correct README to describe XEvIE instead of EVI extension Yes, we had two little used extensions with very different purposes but very similar names. Naming is hard. While we're in here, document that this extension is no longer supported in the Xserver.
