Otherwise, +.B False +will be returned. +.SH NOTES +At the time of this writing, the DMX protocol is at version 2.2. +.PP +Version 2.2 was the final development version, and code supporting this +version was submitted to upstream X server repositories in the summer of +2004. +.PP +Version 1.5 was the last of the 1.x series, which was used for +development before screen and input addition and removal were supported. +Version 2.0 and 2.1 were development versions that partially supported +screen and input addition and removal. +.PP +Since we do not expect development versions to be widely used, we +recommend that any software that uses the DMX protocol extension to +support only versions 2.2 and above (although they should detect earlier +versions and either reduce functionality or fail gracefully). +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR DMXQueryExtension "(3X), " +.BR DMX "(3X), " Xdmx (1) -- cgit v1.2.3
