"XInputExtension" missing on display ... misconfiguration ?

"XInputExtension" missing on display ... misconfiguration ?

[Burkhard Kayser]

I've running the latest version of xserver ( 4.3.0.42 ) on a Win2K box with 
icewm ( 1.2.13 ) as a window manager. While running a ssh remote session with 
my linux box and starting any kde application I get error messages like 
these:

Xlib:  extension "XInputExtension" missing on display "192.168.1.11:0.0".
Failed to get list of devices

Is this a misconfiguration of the Win2K or the linux box ?

Thanks for your help

Dear Burkhard,

> Is this a misconfiguration of the Win2K or the linux box ?

I think Cygwin/X does not support XInputExtension.
However, I believe the lack of it causes just nonfatal
warnings in most applications.

If you want to eliminate the warnings, you might need
to configure KDE/IceWM/apps not to use XInputExtension
or even need to recompile them without XInputExtension.
But I don't know if it is possible or not.
