[clue] Xorg presentation in the fall

[David L. Willson]

Speaking for myself, I am most interested in multi-touch, what's possible and how to.

Subject: [clue] Xorg presentation in the fall

All,
   I'm giving a presentation on Xorg in the fall.  This one will be 
actual meaty technical stuff on X.  However, since X is huge I'd like to 
know if people are interested in anything specific?

Overall view  (graphics stack, server, input system, output system, 
extensions)  ?
Specifics on how Gallium fits in (what is a state tracker)?
The input system (how keypresses end up in your apps)?
What extensions actually do (xrandr, xdamage, ...)?
How fonts work?  (black magic)
How to build from scratch?  (git and autotools)
multitouch?  (pinch to zoom,  swipe, ..)
The X event queue and scheduler?  (X has a simple fifo for everything: 
draw window,  keypress event, ....)
...?

Since I only have 90 mins for this, I'd like it to be meaty and make 
your head hurt a little. :)
