If a slave device is attached to a master device, then we need to send a
mapping notify to the client.
Mapping notify needs to be sent if
- different slave device but on same master
- different master
This gives you funny behaviour with the ClientPointer. When a
MappingNotify is sent to the client, the client usually responds with a
GetKeyboardMapping. This will retrieve the ClientPointer's keyboard mapping,
regardless of which keyboard sent the last mapping notify request. So
depending on the CP setting, your keyboard may change layout in each app...
Haven't quite figured out yet how to make these repeats work. Because we share
the class between devices, the key state is already set when we process the
master device's event, causing a repeat on each event.
This can happen if we check for a passive core grab and our device is a
floating slave device. Doesn't really change anything as SDs can't send core
events but it stops the server from segfaulting.
Each time a different slave device sends through a master, an
DeviceClassesChangedEvent is enqueued. When this event is processed, all
classes of the matching master device are changed, and the event is sent to
the clients.
Next time the master is queried, it thus shows the evclasses of the last slave
device. The original classes are stored in the devPrivates.
TODO: if all slave devices are removed, the master's original classes need to
be restored.
For pointers: don't try to set master->valuator fields if there is no master.
For keyboards: check if device is valid before trying to access the fields in
miPointerGetScreen (btw. this disables DGA events for floating keyboards).
Also stop the hideous number of ErrorFs if we request the paired device for a
floating dev.
Subject: [PATCH] fix some performance gaps in Xace
The XaceHook function is used in several hotpaths.
The problem with it (performance wise) is twofold:
* The XaceHook function has a big switch() statement for the hook number in it
* The XaceHook function uses varargs to reassemble the final dispatch arguments again
Both are expensive operations... for something that is known at compile time
This patch turns the hotpath XaceHook call into a direct call to avoid
the switch and varargs; this gives me over 10% performance gain
on the x11perf benchmark.
The code in connect_hook incorrectly checks for dbus_bus_request_name failure.
The dbus_bus_request_name error indicator is -1, not 0. This leads
to subsequent assertion failure in libdbus.
