Description of problem: While trying to do something about a remote control where the keys are generating bounces, aunt Google pointed me to the XkbSetBounceKeysDelay function. I didn't quite understand the man page for it, but I started out to write a little program to see if I could figure it out. It turns out that I can't compile and link the program. The libraries do not include the symbol, nor is it a #define in any header file I can find. This seems inconsistent, and I guess it is a bug somewhere. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libX11-1.6.3-3.fc24 (and d:o -devel and -common) Steps to Reproduce: 1. man XkbSetBounceKeysDelay 2. cc <program referencing XkbSetBounceKeysDelay> -lX11 Actual results: The first command returns what appears to be a valid manual page, but the second command fails. Expected results: Either the libraries should include the function, or no manual page should be there indicating they do. Additional info: If anyone has a better pointer on how to manage a remote control that generates key bounces than Google, I'm all ears! :-)
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

That's amazing. As far as I can tell that function has _never_ existed in libX11. I've filed a bug upstream: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libx11/issues/105 Unfortunately I don't have any suggestions for a better API for you to use, I'm not especially familiar with XKB. Following up on the upstream bug might be your best bet.
Thanks, I'll follow the upstreams report.
