Can anyone give me some sample code to do the following. I need to have my X11 client sleep until I get input from either the terminal or an X event. I do not want the process to have to fork, it is a large process. I know you can do this through select, I was hoping someone had an example. BTW I am using straight Xlib calls. JonnyG.

Do a select(2) on ConnectionNumber(dpy) of your display and the fd of the terminal. If you were using the toolkit, you would register an alternate input source, and not have to worry about this... -- Charles
