These two patches add two new APIs to the server. XIPropToInt - convert the given property into an integer array XIPropToFloat - convert the given property into an float array
More importantly, the second patch also adds XATOM_FLOAT as a server-defined property that drivers can use to denote float properties (the synaptics driver is waiting for exactly that, and so is property support for pointer acceleration). Requirement for this to work is that both client and server store floats in IEEE 754 format and that the client stores float in the same byte ordering as everything else. Which - unless I misunderstood the material - is more than likely. I sent them to the list previously, since they have changed a bit to make the API more robust to abuse or mis-use. The code was originally written by Simon Thum. Cheers, Peter _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
