STREAMS Modules for X Input Devices

The Silicon Graphics, Inc. implementation of the X display manager, Xsgi, is a customized version of the MIT X11 Sample Server. Besides other enhancements such as integration with Silicon Graphics proprietary graphics subsystems, Xsgi implements a generalized input subsystem so that unusual input devices can easily be integrated into the X window system. The input system is based on STREAMS modules.
