X configuration is always one important task when developing application in Unix environment.
In the past we use to interact directly with the X server via Xlib. My library was overloaded with Xlib books and the development was cumbersome and frustrating. Thanks god, there are exelent libraries that makes life easier GTK and QT are great and give me simple, full solution for my requirements. One left thing is to configure the X. How to manage two X servers on the same workstation?
How to configure the X to directly run my application? How to connect special IO devices to the X?
Well, X power tools give you those answers.
It is, of the shelf, book that enables me to fine tune the X to my boss bizarre requirement.
It just open for you the complex world of X configuration
I warmly recommend this book!!

"I had the big multi-volume X Windows User's Guide years ago - amazingly enough, this packs more truly useful information into 200+ pages than that did in several larger books. I'm really impressed, and can highly recommend this."
