I am trying to use part of the Client Exerciser in the XTEST suite using the
MIT X Consortium Server (release 4) on a SUN 3/60 running SunOS Release 4.1.
These programs rely on the presence of the Input Synthesis Extension called
XTestExtension1. The programs are failing to run because they "cannot query
the input action size".
In this context, I have three questions:
1. Am I right in believing that XTestExtension1 (the Input Synthesis
Extension) is not installed in this particular server (that is why it
cannot query the input action size)? To try and verify this, I ran
'xdpyinfo' on the server. It gave me the following information about
extensions:
number of extensions: 4
SHAPE
MIT-SHM
Multi-Buffering
MIT-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD
The first three seem unambiguous but I'm not sure of the fourth -- does
MIT-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD include XTestExtension1? If so, is there anything
I have to do to activate it?
2. In case XTestExtension1 is not installed in this server, is the code for
the extension available (public domain?)? If so, is it possible to compile
the code for the extension *separately* and load it using the '-x' option on
the server command line (from the server usage message:
-x string loads named extension at init time)?
3. In case the above is not possible, is there an X11 server for the given
environment(Sun 3/60 or SPARC running SunOS Rel. 4) which has
XTestExtension1 installed on it?
Answers to any or all of these questions will be greatly appreciated.
E-mail replies are preferred.
Thanks in advance,

Correct.

I have never seen completed Sun-specific code for this extension.
