I've been googling around for a day or two, and have yet to find what I'm looking for.

What I'm looking is the xorg core data struct and api documentation. I'm sure I won't get below GDK but it's nice to know whats going on below and how it relates.

I'm well versed on the OS, as Unix/Linux OS support is what I did for 20 years, when I got done with an OS it was a real-time OS's based on a finite state stimulus machine with a custom database and interupt/API interface and transfered the database request to and from a windows machine.

So I don't have alot experence with the X interface

Once I see the core data and API interfaces I'll be able to figure out the rest.

Do you mean Xlib? Here is one good standard reference for the Xlib:

The Xlib Programming Manual
http://tronche.com/gui/x/

That helped me a bit at my small window manager project.

I highly recommend you buy the first two volumes (1 and 2) of the X11R6 programmers manual.

That's what I was looking for.
