I'd like to make a patch for the X11 package.

I found http://hackage.haskell.org/package/X11 , which references http://code.haskell.org/X11/ , which appears to be empty.  Did something go wrong?

If it helps any, the change is trivial (just want to get at the Visual pointer from another package, much in the way Display and Screen are exposed). I'd be happy to make a Darcs format patch if you'd prefer that.

The old repo is at *darcs*.haskell.org; it's apparently being moved to c.h.o (so as to be able to give more people the commit-bit), but hasn't yet been actually moved.

Thanks. Same patch now attached. Having written this, what would probably be even cleaner is to have - Graphics.X11.Xlib.Types expose abstract Display, Visual etc and their typeclass instances - an extra Graphics.X11.Xlib.Internals that provides functions to go from Display -> Ptr Display, etc However, this would be both a non-backwards-compatible change (currently Display is exposed as a newtype) and I lack the Haskell-fu to write such a change (like, the newtype would need to go into .Internals but then the deriving declaration should be in .Types?).
