This book puts you in charge of the most flexible and adaptable graphical interface in the computer industry. The X Window System underlies graphical desktops on Linux, Mac OS, and Unix systems, and supports 3-D options and other advanced features of modern graphics cards. More people use the X Window System than ever before, but there are few books about X in print. X Power Tools fills that hole with the most practical and up-to-date information available.Written in O'Reilly's popular Power Tools format, X Power Tools offers hundreds of standalone articles on useful tools and techniques for using X, and each article is thoroughly cross-referenced with others in the book. This unique inside look at X gives Unix/Linux system administrators, owners of self- administered systems, and power users a lot of useful ways to harness the power of this system effectively.
