urgh, a software question :-) I need to write some X Windows code (X11R5, so
it makes the ten year rule!). Nothing fancy - no GUI needed, just pixel ops on
the root window.
Does anyone have any pointers to good online tutorials / other resources?
I think the last time I coded anything specifically for X was around the time
R5 was released, so memory is rather hazy, and I don't think I've got any
paper-based info here at home.
It might not help, but I've been using SDL lately. It eliminates the
need to get caught up in X and allows you to be cross platform (win32,
mac & linux).
I use it for various emulators when they want to display using simple
bitmap hardware.
