Package: valac-0.10 Version: 0.10.4-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hi,
since I didn't find any vala bindings for the XTest extension, I tried writing them myself. The results are attached. I have also attached a small demonstration program which will start/pause your music player. This is how it should work: $ valac --vapidir=. --pkg=x11 --pkg=xtst demo.vala && ./demo Display :0.0 opened String XF86AudioPlay has keysym 0x1008FF14 Keysym 0x1008FF14 has keycode 172 Keycode 172 pressed Keycode 172 released Display :0.0 flushed $ Please note that the program needs the patch from #619505[1]. I'm looking forward to any comments/criticism/whatever! Best regards Alexander Kurtz [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=619505
