For some strange reason, there is no man X. Here's a listing of
/usr/X11R6/man:

./             fsinfo.0       oclock.0       x11perfcomp.0  xfs.0

xrefresh.0

(I'm extremely sorry that that came out formatted wrong...)

As you can see, no man for X :) I checked man Xserver, and even it
mentions an X(0) man...which I can't seem to locate...

Thanks!
