This book puts you in charge of the most flexible and adaptable graphical <br />
interface in the computer industry. The X Window System underlies graphical <br />
desktops on Linux and Unix systems, and supports advanced features of modern <br />
graphics cards. More people use the X Window System than ever before, but there <br />
are few books about X in print. X Power Tools fills that hole with the most <br />
practical and up-to-date information available. Written in O'Reilly's popular <br />
Power Tools format, X Power Tools offers dozens of standalone articles, <br />
thoroughly cross-referenced, on useful tools and techniques for using X. This <br />
unique inside look at X gives Unix/Linux system administrators, owners of <br />
self-administered systems, and power users a lot of useful ways to harness the <br />
power of this system effectively. This book: Offers a thorough grounding in X <br />
configuration and how the system works Provides the complete ins and outs of <br />
changing a desktop's behavior, such as fonts, keyboard settings, and remote <br />
security Includes articles on how to take advantage of X's "network <br />
transparency" -- its ability to display graphical applications on a remote <br />
machine Explores intriguing areas such as using multiple monitors, building <br />
kiosks, and accessibility Features discussions on X Window innovations and the <br />
future of the system X Power Tools covers configuration and use of X, focusing <br />
on Linux but also including notes on other operating systems such as Solaris and <br />
FreeBSD. Each article in the book gives you insight into X; the entire book <br />
gives you a real grasp on this system and what you can do with it.<br />
