[comp.windows.x] dix/ddx/os

  I'm trying to understand how the sample server code works, the link between
dix and ddx in particular.  Using the Sun as an example, I haven't found
how sunInit.c gets called (presumably from dix/main or dix/dispatch) so that
it can set up the rest of the dix-ddx interceptions.  Actually, I don't know
how make knows what server it's making either if that's relevent.  Any help?

How hard did you look?  Both InitInput and InitOutput are defined in that
file, and both are called directly from main() in dix/main.c.

Have you read through the docs in /doc/Server/ ?
