- Well, I used the x11 manual pages as a source of information on what all X11 functions
- does, like:
-
- NAME
- XOpenDisplay - connect a client program to an X server.
-
- Synopsis
- Display *XOpenDisplay(display_name)
- char *display_name;
-
- Arguments
- display_name
- Specifies the display name, which determines the server to
- connect to and the communications domain to be used. See
- Description below.
-
- Description
- The XOpenDisplay() routine connects the client to the server
- controlling the hardware display through TCP or DECnet communication
-
- And then it is just to figure out how to provide the same functionality as
- an X11 server does..I guess it could take a bit of time, but sooner or later
- you'll end up with something useful..Have a look at my homepage for a closer
- look on some of the X11 programs I have ported: http://login.eunet.no/~terjepe
