Error Summary

Error

X server core error.

Package gnu.x11 Description

Provide X protocols. The specification can be found in the following:

• core library (index)
• core protocol (index)
• icccm

Resources

• Kenton Lee
• related works
  • Pure Java X client (by Igor Boukanov)
  • XTC: the X Tool Collection (by Eugene O'Neil)
  • Perl X11 (by Stephen McCamant)
  • X server in Java (by JCraft Inc.)

Help Needed

• compound text encoding
• keysym <-> keycode
• test synchronization and multi-threading safety
• color model
• image loading
  • new x extension: server side image loading (given a filename/url of gif/png/jpeg in a request, x server (instead of client library) creates a pixmap and loads (and possibly decodes) data into it); no need to transport large pixmap across network twice (netscape image display)
  • use xie to decode jpeg? [keith said it's broken]
  • java native interface to MIT-SHM (check /usr/include/X11/extensions/XShm.h) [undocumented; un-offical]

Credit

I came up with the idea of Java X11 library without knowing Boukanov's or O'Neil's works. However, during the middle of development, I discovered their presences and started using their codes as my reference. Needless to say, I read between lines of all codes in C xlib by X Consortium.
