X11 driver
==========
This was the first driver done for XaoS. It supports many visuals, shared
colormaps and MitSHM extension.
Bugs/limitations:
XaoS makes some X servers too busy
Sometimes XaoS generates images faster than X can display them. In this
case XaoS responds poorly to the mouse, and other applications slow down
too. This happens especially often on old R4 servers. Use -sync to avoid
this problem. Note that -sync does not make all communication with X
asynchronous; it just adds one additional XSync call. So the slowdown is
not as large as you might expect.
Does not work on all visuals
This driver supports only 8bpp pseudocolor/grayscales, 15,16,24 and 32bpp
truecolor, 1bpp and 8bpp staticolor visuals.
Palette rotating does not work for 8bpp pseudocolor w/o private palette
X11 driver was written by Jan Hubicka and Thomas Marsh, 1997.
