All of the sample server documentation is contained in mit/doc/Server. The most comprehensive document would be 'ddx.tbl.ms' which describes the interfaces between the device-independent and device-dependent portions of the server. Unfortunately, there has never been any extensive effort to completely document the interfaces and algorithms used in the sample server. In many cases, the algorithms are described in comments appearing inside the source code. Naturally, I think the 100000+ lines of documentation to be found in mit/server/.../*.c to be the most accurate available :-) Keith Packard MIT X Consortium
