This form contains a series of questions that need to be answered. As you go about answering the questions, please keep the following things in mind:

• While it is not required that each question be answered at this time, all questions must have answers before the response is submitted to The Open Group for review and publication.
• Press the "Save" button at any time to save work in progress. Once the work has been saved, there is the option to continue editing if required.
• Many questions have instructions to assist in development of answers. They are marked with the indicator. Please look at the instructions carefully.
• Although HTML markup can be included in answers, this is not recommended apart from basic tags such as <p> and <br>, since incorrect markup could effect the format of other items in the document.
• Questions on this system should be addressed to the Conformance Statement manager at The Open Group.

Enter the name of the Organization that produced the implementation and the name of the author of the Conformance Statement.

1.1 Display Attributes

1.1.1 Connection Mechanisms

Question 1: What connection mechanisms does your server support?

Response

Mechanism	Supported
TCP/IP	Yes   No
DECnet	Yes   No
Other (mechanism name)

Rationale

The connection mechanisms supported by a single display may include TCP/IP, DECnet or others. It is useful to know which connection mechanisms are supported to determine which conformant X/Open Window Management APIs can be used with a particular display.

Reference

CAE Specification, X/Open Window Management: Xlib - C Language Binding, Section 3.1, Opening the Display.

1.1.2 Supported Screen Numbers

Question 2: What is the software limit imposed by the ddx and dix layers of the X Display server on the number of screens it is capable of supporting simultaneously?

Response

Rationale

The specification states that multiple screens may be specified for a single display. This information is useful because applications may require multiple screens to be supported.

Reference

CAE Specification, X/Open Window Management: Xlib - C Language Binding, Section 3.1, Opening the Display.

1.1.3 Supported Visual Types

Question 3: What are the visual types, and the depths at which they are available, currently supported by your X Display server?

Response

Visual Type	Supported	Depths	Special Hardware Required
StaticGray	Yes   No		Yes   No
GrayScale	Yes   No		Yes   No
StaticColor	Yes   No		Yes   No
PseudoColor	Yes   No		Yes   No
TrueColor	Yes   No		Yes   No
DirectColor	Yes   No		Yes   No

Question 4: If the X Display server is capable of supporting more than one screen simultaneously, is it also capable of supporting multiple, possibly disjoint, sets of visuals and depths for each of the supported screens?

Response

Yes   No

If combinations of supported hardware or software that are required to support particular visual(s) or depth(s) exist, then please describe them.

Rationale

The specification states that for each screen of the display, there may be a list of valid visual types supported at different depths of the screen. This information is useful because applications may take advantage of particular supported combinations of depth and visual type.

Reference

CAE Specification, X/Open Window Management: Xlib - C Language Binding, Section 4.1, Visual Types, and Section 11.8, Determining the Appropriate Visual Type.

1.1.4 Supported Pixmap Depths

Question 5: Does the display server support depths in addition to those detailed in Question 3 above? If so, please enumerate those depths.

Response

Yes   No

If yes, then please list the other depths.

Question 6: If the X Display server is capable of supporting more than one screen simultaneously, is it also capable of supporting multiple, possibly disjoint, sets of depths for each of the supported screens?

Response

Yes   No

If combinations of supported hardware or software that are required to support particular depth or depths exist, in addition to those already documented in question 3, please list the dependencies.

Rationale

Each screen supports pixmaps of depth one, and may support other depths. Pixmaps may be supported at depths for which no visual type exists. This information is useful because applications may take advantage of particular supported pixmap depths.

Reference

CAE Specification, X/Open Window Management: Xlib - C Language Binding, Section 3.2.1, Display Macros.

1.1.5 Extensions

Question 7: What extensions does your display support?

Response

Rationale

Although the X/Open Window Management: Xlib - C Language Binding does not mandate any extensions and applications should endeavour not to rely on them, some extensions, such as the SHAPE and X3D-PEX extensions, are essential for certain applications and widget sets.

Reference

CAE Specification, X/Open Window Management: Xlib - C Language Binding, Appendix C, Extensions, XList Extensions.

1.1.6 Interoperability

Question 8: Are you aware of any additions, omissions or deviations from the semantics and/or encoding of any protocol request, event and/or error, as defined by the CAE Specification for the X Window System Protocol, with respect to your X Display server implementation? If so, please list them below.

Response

Yes   No



	Protocol Request/Event/Error	Description

Rationale

To ensure interoperability and the ability to reproduce the test suite results, the vendor of the display must identify any deviations from the CAE Specification for the X Window System Protocol.

Reference

CAE Specification, X/Open Window Management: Xlib - C Language Binding, Section 3.1, Opening the Display.
