Ok. Well, the reason I ask is that I know very little about X window programming, but wanted to see if I could write programs that run on X but pretty much ignore X's actual *windowing* functionality, instead using an X Render area as a kind of framebuffer or canvas. Like I said, I know very little X API, but I am somewhat familiar with the basic ideas; how steep do you think the learning curve would be to be able to just create an X Render area and draw on it? -- Furrfu! r a k k o at c h a r t e r dot n e t _______________________________________________ Render mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/render
