Message-ID: X-X-Sender: jroberts@mail.ashland.edu MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Greetings and salutations! Does anyone know just how much X and XFree86 have in common? I bought FBSD to learn UNIX programming -- esp. X* programming. Are there appreciable deviations from X in XF86 that I need to consider, and also, are there appreciable deviations from XF86 proper to the port for FreeBSD? Is a good X programming book a good XF86-on-FreeBSD programming book? I ask, because in addition to some books already mentioned on another thread, I'm looking at a couple of X books from my book club that just claim to deal with "X Windows".
