The Font system, why there is a font server, why the font server is being obsoleted and the future of fonts would be interesting to me.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, May 1, 2011 at 4:21 PM, Matt Dew <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:marcoz@osource.org">marcoz@osource.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I'm giving a presentation on Xorg in the fall. This one will be<br>
actual meaty technical stuff on X. However, since X is huge I'd like to<br>
know if people are interested in anything specific?<br>
<br>
Overall view (graphics stack, server, input system, output system,<br>
extensions) ?<br>
Specifics on how Gallium fits in (what is a state tracker)?<br>
The input system (how keypresses end up in your apps)?<br>
What extensions actually do (xrandr, xdamage, ...)?<br>
How fonts work? (black magic)<br>
How to build from scratch? (git and autotools)<br>
multitouch? (pinch to zoom, swipe, ..)<br>
The X event queue and scheduler? (X has a simple fifo for everything:<br>
draw window, keypress event, ....)<br>
...?<br>
<br>
Since I only have 90 mins for this, I'd like it to be meaty and make<br>
your head hurt a little. :)<br>
