</div>Amazingly, ddx.ps.gz in the existing docs package is a really good start<br>

</div>In master, according to sloccount, the X server is well under half a<br>
million lines. Is this big? How small do we need to make it?</blockquote><div> </div><div>It may not be big once you are familiar with it i.e if you know where to look, then<br>it is all easy. For example, i wanted to understand all the AIGLX related changes.<br>
I did find some documents through Google Search but when i got down with the<br>code it was not easy. You can always blame it on me :-) <br><br>-mohan<br><br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
