Hi.
I am trying to create a X client that to communicate to X server by the
raw protocol, not using any libraries, such as XLib or XCB.
While with the graphics part it was simple and straightforward task,
solved by simply following the protocol (The documentation on X11 is
pretty complete and we
I tried to do something similar and had the same experience. I still don't know
how to convert keyboard events to something useful like UTF-8. (I was actually
aiming for Latin-1 to start with).
My terrible code is here:

time-consuming searches, and by picking up some clues in xorg's

whole system works under the library cover.
OK, let try asking specific questions:

I'm no expert so I have no idea what documentation you looked at.
As is often the case arch has
