It's a "screen" that indicates a framebuffer. Correct me if i am wrong: 1.What you mean to say is: Display is a connection to a screen, and all clients that share the display, write graphics information to the same screen. 2. So, each X-Server can have only one framebuffer. 3.If i create a seperate buffer(one for each client, not a consolidated screen), is it possible to modify the XServer to capture the graphics generated by each of the clients and write them into their corresponding buffers. Appreciate the help thanks, Preetham
