<para>The following document explains the structure of the X Window System display server and the interfaces among the larger pieces. It is intended as a reference for programmers who are implementing an X Display Server on their workstation hardware. It is included with the X Window System source tape, along with the document "Strategies for Porting the X v11 Sample Server." The order in which you should read these documents is:
