Hello,
These ioctl calls are used by a small utility `ports-okl4/src/app/xev_track`, which tracks the X-server's window commands (move, resize etc.) and uses the information to manage nitpicker views for each window on top of the Linux's framebuffer.
there is even the possibility to combine the 'xev_track' program with Xnest on plain Linux:

But I should note that we haven't run this setup for quite some time. Still it is fun to play with and provides a nice way to investigate the functioning of 'xev_track'.
Cheers Norman
