But the way they do this in most applications is draw various components to pixels maps send them to the server and then tells the server to draw them at particular points. Overtime this evolved and they've added direct rendering in which the X server gives the client a buffer which they can render into and the server then copies that into the display output (in the case of a compositing window manager), or they get a reference to the screen which they draw directly on to.īut most applications still support the older case where they can draw via X11. Historically X11 was purely a network protocol and a UNIX mainframe would X rendering commands to a separate X terminal which was a physical device.
I felt a better explanation was worthwhile.
