[PATCH] XKB: cache xkbcomp output for fast start-up v5 for 1.6.1

yanli at infradead.org yanli at infradead.org
Thu May 14 21:22:25 PDT 2009


xkbcomp outputs will be cached in files with hashed keymap as
names. This saves boot time for around 1s on commodity netbooks.

v5: now using a much bigger xkbKeyMapBuf (100k) since the XKB to be
    complied may be very large (as seen with
    gnome-keyboard-properties), rebased to v1.6.1

 different hosts could cause problems.
