All,
 
Please excuse my ignorance here as I have only been on this list for a few weeks and am pretty new to XFree86 internals.  That being said ...
 
I am working on modifying an input driver (or two :-) and am having a little trouble.  I cannot find man pages or other documentation on internal X calls.  For example, xf86Msg, xf86OpenSerial, etc.  I have figured out some of these based on usage in the source files, but the less obvious ones are becoming a problem.  For example, xf86PostMotionEvent has a series of parameters, most of which are hard coded in the drivers I am looking at.  While I can search and read source code, this is not prefered as it is very time consuming when you know little if anything ;-)
 
I also need to fine some calls to get information like screen size and to know if I can safely take over the screen (for calibration purposes) without adversely affecting the system.  Fining pieces like this by reading source code would be nearly impossible.
 
Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
 
Take care,
KJohn
