Dear List,

Is it possible to render things in the XServer with multiple threads? For example:

dpy <- asks display

myWin <- createSimpleWindow dpy (defaultRootWindow dpy) 0 0 10 10 black white

_ <- forkOS $ do

-- doStuff with myWin using dpy

When I attempt doing things like that, I usually get a deadlock. Is there any way to do this (I know, X is old :( but no harm in asking).

Thank you and best regards,
