[comp.windows.x] Information on X server architecture needed

tinker@ee.su.oz.au (Edward Tinker) (07/24/90)

We need to design an X server for a rather unique display that is unlike 
anything the X sample server was intended for.  This will involve some 
major modifications of the sample server, or perhaps a complete recoding.  

Does anyone know of any articles or books which disscuses the architecture
of the X sample server, or other X server implementation?  We're looking for
information on all layers of the server design, but are especially interested
in the device independent layer.  (We know of the documentation in the
distribution tapes, but this is of limited value.)

Any information would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!
