Starting with X11 Programming

I''m not very good with XLib (since I didn''t spend much time on it) but here are the links that I have for it:
http://www.vislab.usyd.edu.au/ebt-bin/nph-dweb/dynaweb/SGI_Developer/XLib_PG/
http://tronche.com/gui/x/xlib-tutorial/2nd-program-anatomy.html

Most of the other links don''t seem to work anymore, but that first one should help you some .

http://tuxgames.scurvypenguin.net It''s my site, and I currently have one tutorial up and available for download (BTW, I''m working on redoing the site, it''s been a while I know). But if nothing else there''s a link to an X11 programming page that I got the tutorials from. however it''s not very detailed, and doesn''t actually explain much. That''s why I decided to do one myself. Anywho, check it out.

thanks all, im off to do some reading.

This is the simplest program to open a window:
#include X11/Xlib.h

#include stdio.h
#include stdlib.h
#include unistd.h

Display *dis;
Window win;

int main()
{
dis = XOpenDisplay( NULL );
win = XCreateSimpleWindow( dis, RootWindow( dis, 0 ), 1, 1, 200, 140,
0, BlackPixel( dis, 0 ), BlackPixel( dis, 0 ) );
XMapWindow( dis, win );
XFlush( dis );
sleep( 5 );
return 0;
}

P.S. I removed the surounding special characters smaller than and bigger than surrounding the files to include in the includes statement. because I know it screws up HTML files.
don''t forget to include the following statements when compiling:
gcc myfile.c -o myfile -I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib
