	Aren't those X11R5-related book heavily out-dated? Under Linux we are
at X11R7 and things like Xcomposite, Xrender, Xfixes, Xdamage, Xrandr
etc. are not covered by these books.

	Does anybody know, if there are updated editions of these books,
covering all the new X11-extensions, planned or available?

That might be more worthwhile.
