A University-level reference that I've found helpful is 
/Computer Graphics, Priniciples and Practice/, by Foley, van Dam et al.
I hear there's a second edition out, I've only used the first one.

I've found it covers most of the basic rendering, although it's a
little sketchy on anti-aliasing (it does cover Porter-Duff compositing
in reasonable detail, though).  I don't recall any treatment of
geometric algorithms, though, be it plane or spatial.

[XFree86] Possible Xcursor bug

[Juliusz Chroboczek]

I've noticed that setting XCURSOR_CORE=true works if I set it in Xdm's
environment.  On the other hand, setting it in a terminal window
before launching a client has no effect.  (Same thing with setting the
corresponding resource.)

Is there some sort of weird inheritance of settings going on?

>From a cursory glance at the code, it looks like XCURSOR_CORE disables
RGBA cursor support.  Is there some way of disabling core cursor
theming but leaving RGBA cursors for clients that explicitly request them?
