I think it does. We use Imm32 on ReactOS and this wont work for us. Its
not the end of the world as we really dont need it atm but we will end
up having to rewrite your work down the road. =(

Thanks

imm work

Hi Aric,
After looking a little closer I dont think its worth the work to try
and make a shared implementation right now. I still think your patch
will still cause problems because of the way it links to x11drv though
=P
> From what I understand IMM32 reads the keyboard layout from the

regsitry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\control\keyboard
layouts${HKL}
And then loads a kbd*.dll for the proper locale and does all of its
stuff. In ReactOS we have already started implementing the differnt kbd
input suport and could relicense this as LGPL if needed but with XIM
already there on XFree I guess it will just be better to fork.

Besides it will be a while before we really need it anyway...

Sorry about the noise.
Thanks
Steven
