I get the "Blind men and the elephant" feeling when poking around with X.
there's a lot of partial information floating around. People give advice
like "Change this configuration parameter" to "that" and it will "work" on a
"my-system".
Is there anywhere a brief, coherent explanation of how X video works, what
all its pieces are, how they're related and how the entires in the
configuration files are actually used?
