NAME
       XkbGetDetectableAutorepeat  - Determines whether or not the server sup-
       ports DetectableAutorepeat

SYNOPSIS
       Bool XkbGetDetectableAutorepeat ( display, supported_rtrn )

	     Display * display;
	     Bool * supported_rtrn;

ARGUMENTS
       - display
	      connection to X server

       - supported_rtrn
	      backfilled True if DetectableAutorepeat supported

DESCRIPTION
       Auto-repeat is the generation of multiple key events by a keyboard when
       the user presses a key and holds it down. Keyboard hardware and device-
       dependent X server software often implement auto-repeat	by  generating
       multiple  KeyPress  events  with  no  intervening KeyRelease event. The
       standard behavior of the X server is to generate a KeyRelease event for
       every  KeyPress	event.	If  the keyboard hardware and device-dependent
       software of the X server implement auto-repeat by  generating  multiple
       KeyPress events, the device-independent part of the X server by default
       synthetically generates a KeyRelease event after each  KeyPress	event.
       This  provides  predictable  behavior for X clients, but does not allow
       those clients to detect the fact that a key is auto-repeating.

       Xkb allows clients to request  detectable  auto-repeat.	 If  a	client
       requests  and  the  server supports DetectableAutorepeat, Xkb generates
       KeyRelease  events  only  when  the  key  is  physically  released.  If
       DetectableAutorepeat  is  not  supported or has not been requested, the
       server synthesizes a KeyRelease event for each repeating KeyPress event
       it generates.

       DetectableAutorepeat,  unlike  other  controls, is not contained in the
       XkbControlsRec structure, nor can it be enabled	or  disabled  via  the
       EnabledControls	control.   Instead, query and set DetectableAutorepeat
       using XkbGetDetectableAutorepeat and XkbSetDetectableAutorepeat.

       DetectableAutorepeat is	a  condition  that  applies  to  all  keyboard
       devices	for  a	client's  connection to a given X server; it cannot be
       selectively set for some devices and not for others. For  this  reason,
       none  of  the  Xkb  library  functions  involving  DetectableAutorepeat
       involve a device specifier.

       XkbGetDetectableAutorepeat queries the server for the current state  of
       DetectableAutorepeat  and  waits  for a reply. If supported_rtrn is not
       NULL, it backfills supported_rtrn with  True  if  the  server  supports
       DetectableAutorepeat,  and False otherwise.  XkbGetDetectableAutorepeat
       returns the current state of DetectableAutorepeat  for  the  requesting
       client: True if DetectableAutorepeat is set, and False otherwise.

RETURN VALUES
       True	      The  XkbGetDetectableAutorepeat function returns True if
		      the server supports DetectableAutorepeat.

       False	      The XkbGetDetectableAutorepeat function returns False if
		      the server does not support DetectableAutorepeat.
